The study discusses the ways of surfacing eschatological concepts and their field based on a Ukrainian psychological collective monograph devoted to the ongoing war and children of war, in particular. The conveyed research enabled to identify the repertoire of the linguistic means that verbalise eschatology as a field in the above texts. The centre and the periphery of the outlined eschatological conceptual field were described, thus revealing the specific approach of psychology to existential issues related to the major eschatological concepts of DEATH, WAR and LOSS. It was noted that the singled out textual surfacing clearly showed that these concepts, serving as semantic eschatology representatives, are regarded transformatively in psychology. By forming a detailed verbalised description of the past and present experience, they are understood not merely as the end of something but rather as a door, a transition to new situations, emphasizing the continuity of life under any circumstances. The completed conceptual and linguoculturological text analysis explored and clarified the verbalisation of the common existential eschatological problems faced by adults and children, especially those affected by the raging war in Ukraine.
It was found out and demonstrated that the verbalization of the analysed concepts in the given texts could be observed at different language levels, from lexemes and phrases, predominantly nominative collocations, to longer descriptive contexts.
