Researchers of various fields of science are studying the problems of memory, its processes, memory mechanisms, memory role for each individual and mankind in general. The lexical unit Mémoire is a term for many spheres. In modern studies of national language picture of the world, a scientific paradigm of knowledge, that in its totality creates a scientific picture of the world, is opposed to the naive knowledge that a person receives, uses and transmits the next generation regardless of scientific knowledge. The purpose of the work is to analyze the concept of Mémoire and demonstrate the process of its verbalization on the material of free combinations with the Mémoire component, phraseological units and paremias that recorded naive representations, associations, vital experience associated with memory. The connections of the Mémoire concept name with adjectives are evaluating the characteristics of memory. Predicative connections are memory as a storage store or as an item on which the records can be made. The memory is considered an integral part of a healthy person; memory loss is a deviation from the norm and is fixed in the language. Bad memory is associated directly with holes or objects with holes. Phraseological units, being representatives of the concept, in figurative and expressive form represent an idea of the quality of memory in humans, linking the latest with representatives of the animal world, objects surrounding a person in everyday life. An analysis of the signs of this concept on the material of paremia reveals life experience on the imperfection of memory, but also its importance for a person, reveals the connection of memory with good and evil, while the last leaves the longer trace; the memory is attributed to the ability to move and even leave traces; it is noted that its lack in humans must be offset by strong legs, and a special need for high-quality memory have liars.
