The article is devoted to the description of the field structure peculiar to the concept LEADERSHIP which has been revealed due to its representation in the language. The article presents methods of studying concepts and steps in the analysis of their structure. Moreover, the paper shows notional constituents of the concept LEADERSHIP sorted out with the help of diachronic analysis of the main lexical unit and definitions taken from dictionaries. This method has helped to study the basic meaning of the lexical unit, analyze its formation and further development. Besides, 50 words which have similar meaning, including: control, administration, management, guidance, command, direction, authority, power, domination, superiority etc. have been examined to confirm the data on the notional constituents. As a result, additional notional features have been singled out. In the course of contextual analysis based on the book «On Becoming a Leader» by Warren Bennis, examples from The New York Times (2012) and from the inaugural speeches of American presidents, main structural components have been sorted out depending on the indication of one or another of its features. They are: a leader’s personality, characteristics, actions and followers. The represented concept is described in the terms of the field theory, so its elements belong to the core, near-core zone and periphery. The field structure is arranged according to the intensity of the concept cognitive features which are singled out due to the frequency found in the use of the words representing the concept.
