The present research paper aims at providing an insight into the nature of English cultural key word ¿right¿ and its expression in Italian and Lithuanian as well as various cultural scripts underlying this concept. The analysis carried out during the research is based on the theory of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) and theories of Cultural Key Words and Cultural Scripts elaborated by Anna Wierzbicka and Cliff Goddard in 1990s, who claimed that apart from common words which are clear to everyone, there exist certain culture-specific concepts fully understandable only to the representatives of a specific culture. The main attention of this study is, therefore, focused on revealing the meaning groups of the concept ¿right¿ and their expression in Italian and Lithuanian as well as formulating cultural scripts underlying each meaning group using semantic primes from Natural Semantic Metalanguage. The source of the findings is the original version of George Orwell¿s ¿1984¿ as well as its two translations.
