The article examines the peculiarity of the implementation of the procedural code in Kabardian proverbs and sayings. The subject code is the most explored in linguistic study, allowing us to re-flect on numerous ideas that are important in people’s axiology. Due to the lack of research on the procedural codes of culture, the necessity of introducing these symbolic representations into the scientific field is justified. The aim of the study is to identify the semiotic elements of Kabardian paroemias that mark the value representations of native speakers. The scientific novelty consists in presenting the mechanisms of encoding the ethnomental paradigms of epistemology, in reflect-ing the deep structures of consciousness through words associated with the most important verbs of action. As a result of the study, the most frequent words projecting cultural dominants are iden-tified and their semantic classification is presented.
