In the paper we present a cognitive semantic model of the concept, expressed by Russian verb peresprosit’ and noun perespros (lit. ‘re-question’), represented as a set of features with their values, which in different combinations form the fuzzy extension of the concept. On the basis of this model we clarify the definitiоn of the ordinary concept, give the definition of the linguistic term perespros stricto sensu as denoting prototypical memebers of the category ( echo-question) and propose a typology of perespros in a broad sence, including all non-prototypical members. Thanks to the fact that the concept is language specific we could draw data about its inner structure by conceptual analysis of reverse translations from ordinary English, that has no lexical expression for the concept.
