Abstract: The article presents a cognitive view on sign language. It is the first to analyze the sign language in the Republic of Khakassia, one of the regional variants of the Russian sign language which requires serious scientific research, detailed linguistic analysis and, as a further step, its official documentation. The article describes the specific features of sign conceptualization as conceptualization by a special semiotic system that functions as a language of communication for a social group of deaf people and people with hearing impairment. The key patterns of conceptualizing the emotions and feelings are specified; the basic pattern of conceptualization is claimed. The revealed specificity of conceptualizing the category of emotions and feelings in the sign language in Khakassia raises the issue of an urgent need for further research of both this regional variant of the Russian sign language and other regional variants of the Russian Federation. This, in turn, will favour the linguistic descriptions of sign language and the use of these descriptions to solve many issues related to successful social adaptation of deaf people and people with hearing impairment
