Abstract
The goal of the article is to try to define the main components of the “American Dream” concept in the chronological order of their appearance in the American mass consciousness. In the research, the combination of the following methods was applied: the syntactical method, the diachronic analysis and the method of schematization. The research allowed defining five main components of the concept under analysis and designing the scheme illustrating the chronological order of these components appearing.
