The present paper is testing the three conceptospheres theoretically and methodologically. The goal of the research is to study the following: conceptual perception, categorization, conceptualization and conceptual asymmetry in Russian and American cultures. Due to mental cognitive concepts, that may be objectivized by language (words and word combinations; paroemia; idioms; collocations; etc.) perception may be realized through any channel representing special forms of worldview's knowledge. Human beings categorize his/her experience into conceptual categories. I juxtaposed the two cultures with distinctive worldviews to determine specific conceptual perception. For this purpose, I researched three spheres of concepts: Temporal, Stereotypical, and Axiological.
