This article explores the features of the "age" concept representation in English linguoculture through paremiological units and artistic discourse. The study analyzes the metaphorical models of life stages (childhood, youth, middle age, and old age) within the English national worldview, as well as their artistic manifestation in Charles Dickens's novel "David Copperfield." The results indicate that the concept of age is a complex cultural code reflecting not only biological duration but also the moral and social values of society.
