Abstract (English): This article deals with the study of the concept of семья / family in the Russian and English languages using lexicographical sources: explanatory, associative and synonyms dictionaries, concluding that there are more meanings of that word in English than in Russian. In English, a large number of synonyms are associated with inheritance and origin. According to the vocabulary of associations, friends are included in the concept of family; therefore, the boundaries of the family are somewhat blurred. Russians tend to associate the family with relatives and children. The English-speaking respondents associate the family mainly with the household, the children, but for both languages, the family is associated with the children, the home and the mother.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo aborda el estudio del concepto de семья / familia en los idiomas ruso e inglés utilizando fuentes lexicográficas: diccionarios explicativos, asociativos y sinónimos, concluyéndose que hay más significados de esa palabra en inglés que en ruso. En inglés, un gran número de sinónimos está asociado con la herencia y el origen. De acuerdo con el vocabulario de las asociaciones, los amigos están comprendidos en el concepto de familia; por ende, los límites de la familia son un tanto borrosos. Los rusos tienden a asociar la familia con parientes e hijos. Los encuestados de habla inglesa asocian a la familia principalmente con el hogar, los niños, pero para ambos idiomas, la familia está asociada con los niños, el hogar y la madre.
