The article discusses the problem of temporal prepositions use with the concept “Seasons”, it also provides a brief overview of the issue on the material of the French and Russian languages. The problem is highlighted in different periods of time. The article describes the semantic and grammatical structure of a definite relative units group with temporal meaning, including the year cycle, emphasizes the peculiarities of temporal prepositions semantic structure. The work touches upon the question of semantic distinctive features, meanings and variants of using the prepositions from the point of view of a space-temporal code. In the focus of our attention is also a brief overview of the prepositional system of languages with different structure. The problem is highlighted from the point of view of anthropocentric paradigm, space-temporal representation of the language and national-specific picture of the world.
