Abstract
The article presents the results of an empirical study of the state of operations development of understanding the denotative (referential, nearest) meaning of the word in children of the senior preschool age. It is found out that children differently understand the denotative meanings of words. This is due to the fact that they have formed different life and speech-language experience, different knowledge about the objective (surrounding) reality. The child takes possession of the word in such a meaning, in which this word “enters” and functions in his life and spoken language experience. The reasons of difficulties occurrence which arise in children at definition of denotative value of words are described also.
