Methodologically, draws on semantics, semantic syntax, discourse analysis constructionism assumptions. A set research operations involves defining list units, discovering their syntagmatic relations, describing in context, well disclosing functional resources this group. Eleven words with morphem (used 80 times altogether) have been identified. These are surrounded by derivatives other carry unity, which predetermines promoting ideas unity through texts. lexemes used discriminately different contexts realize meanings a distinctive way. In terms language system, neutral or positive axiological status; however, negative can be constructed attributes connotations. Structurally word combinations allow for varying conceptualizations unity: quality characterizes subjects activities, an object is regulated state. Unity conceptualized characteristic four various dimensions: materialistic (unity country’s infrastructure), spacial (territorial unity), values) temporal (historical generation continuity).
