Abstract. The article analyses the modifications of the concept «limita» in the context of song discourse. To solve this problem, the method of analysis of dictionary definitions and inductive frame allocation, discursive and stylistic analysis, conceptual analysis, description of cognitive metaphor, and contextual interpretation were used. The study reveals the expansion of the concept through several key frames, including social, economic, emotional, historical and «migration» ones. Considering the given concept from different points of view, the frame analysis reveals its social, economic, emotional, historical and migration aspects. The analysis of the concept «limita» serves as an example of how song discourse can reflect and shape social stereotypes. The study shows that song discourse not only entertains, but also performs an important social function, contributing to the formation of public opinion and identity.

Keywords: concept, anti-concept, frame, song discourse, linguoculturology, cognitive linguistics, functions of discourse.
