3. -01- Introduction to Linguoculturology Y.S. Stepanov “ language quietly guides the way philosophers and other scientists think .” P hilosophers of the 20th century, such as P.A. Florensky , L. Wittgenstein, N. Bohr and others, gave language an important place in their theories . The well-known thinker X.G. Gadamer even said that "language is the only hope for freedom." M. Heidegger believed that “language is more important than nature and the world around us,” because language not only reflects reality, but also creates the reality in which people live. Language

4. 1 02 3 Compared to other parts of linguistics, linguoculturology is quite new. Research shows that the linguo -cultural side of language science began at the start of the 20th century and slowly replaced country studies. Even though linguoculturology is a new field, the methods for studying the connection between language and culture are still developing. Linguoculturology focuses attention onto the reflection of spiritual state in the language of a man in the society. LC offers valuable insights; important methodology for social science research. Importance in Social Sciences Defining Linguoculturology

5. Began in the 20th century; gradually replacing country study in academic focus. Emergence Emphasizes language’s role in expressing cultural and spiritual values; reflecting societal mindset. Key Focus Represents a new paradigm in European linguistics; has evolved into an independent discipline. Paradigm Shift The Rise of Linguoculturology

6. According to Teliya , the methodological base of linguoculturology is the study of signs that show the connection between language and culture. These signs reflect mental processes and show how culture shapes our thinking. However, this view does not always make the borders of linguoculturology clear compared to other sciences. For example, sometimes it is difficult to separate linguoculturology from related fields such as cognitive linguistics. Still, linguoculturology studies language as a way to represent culture, while culture is also studied in the light of language.

7. One main feature of 20th century science is that different fields of knowledge often mix with each other. Every person belongs to a national culture, which includes traditions, language, history, and literature. Today , economic, cultural, and scientific connections between countries are becoming stronger. Because of this, studies of intercultural communication, the link between language and culture, and language personality are very important. This growing interest in cultural studies has also brought more attention to linguoculturology .

8. 03 01 02 Culture-Oriented Linguistics Different from purely cognitive science; LC studies humanitarian meanings within language. Cognitive Linguistics While related, LC emphasizes the linguistic aspect; with a specific focus on language. LC delves deeper than simple cultural facts; examining how language embodies culture. Country Study Distinguishing LC from Related Fields

9. Linguoculturology studies language as part of culture. It shows how people see the world through their national language, where language reflects the special way of thinking of a nation. The main questions of linguoculturology are :

10. -02- Core Concepts and Principles

11. Linguoculturology is a complex field of knowledge about the relationship and mutual influence of language and culture. According to V.N. Teliya , “ linguoculturology is a part of ethnolinguistics that studies and describes the interaction of national language, material culture, and mentality. This interaction shows itself in language processes and in the double nature of both language and culture of an ethnic group.”

12. Examines how language signs acquire cultural meanings; impacting communication and understanding. Language reflects a national vision of the world; acting as an exponent of unique cultural traits. National Mentality Focuses on how cultural meanings affect speaker and listener perception; influencing communication strategy. Speaker and Listener Awareness Cultural Meanings Language as a Cultural Phenomenon

13. linguoculturology is a science that appeared at the crossing point of Linguistics and Cultural Studies. It studies how culture is reflected and fixed in language. It is a humanitarian science that examines how both material and spiritual culture are expressed in a living national language and in linguistic processes. Linguoculturology also helps us understand one of the main functions of language – to create, develop, keep, and share culture. . linguoculturology is a discipline that studies how culture is shown, reflected, and fixed in language and discourse. It is closely connected with the study of the national picture of the world and the special language consciousness of a nation.” V.V. Krasnyh , V.A. Maslova Linguoculturology

14. The methods of linguoculturology are different analytical tools, actions, and procedures used to study the interaction between language and culture. Many methods can be applied in research, but the most important are conceptual, descriptive, contextual, analytical, and comparative methods. A special area of study in linguoculturology is the analysis of texts, because texts are real carriers of culture. For this, researchers can use different techniques, from interpretational to psycholinguistic methods. The main category in linguoculturology is the concept. A concept is understood as a mental unit that is used to study language, thinking, and culture together. The aim of linguoculturology is to study how language expresses culture in its units, and how it helps to keep and pass culture from one generation to another. The main task of linguoculturology is to study and describe the interaction between language and culture. According to V. Telia , the goal of this field is to research and explain the connection between language and culture, language and ethnos, and language and national way of thinking .

15. -03- Tasks and Objectives of Linguoculturology

16. The main object The subject of The main object of linguoculturology is the connection and interaction between culture and language in the way they function. It also studies how this interaction can be understood as one complete system . The subject of linguoculturology is the national forms of life that are shown in language communication and are based on cultural traditions. In other words, the subject of linguoculturology is the language picture of the world. . Investigating Language and Culture

17. 01 02 03 Diachronic linguoculturology – this looks at how the linguo -cultural situation of a nation changes over time. Comparative linguoculturology – this compares the linguo -cultural features of different but connected nations. . Linguoculturology can be divided into five main areas, depending on the purpose of the research: 04 05 Linguo-cultural lexicography – this focuses on creating special dictionaries for linguo-cultural studies. Confrontational linguoculturology – the newest area, with only a few works so far. One example is M. Golovanivskaya’s research “French mentality from the point of view of a Russian person.” Linguoculturology of a social group or nation in a certain historical period – this studies the cultural and language situation of a concrete time.

18. Aims to define the specific parameters; differentiate research focus from cognitive linguistics. Establishing Boundaries Seeks a unique theoretical platform; that can distinguish it from other cognitive disciplines. Theoretical Platform Works toward clarifying the scientific status of LC; defining main tasks and basic concepts. Scientific Status Defining Research Parameters

19. -04- Main Fields and Applications

20. Specific Linguistic Situations Investigates specific cultures; examining through a cultural lens at different points in time. Epoch Specific Analysis Analyzes language within a specific era; providing insights into societal values and norms. Social Group Analysis

21. 01 02 Diachronic Linguoculturology Changes Over Time Focuses on changes of linguocultural states; studying how language evolves alongside culture. Examines the impact of time on language and culture; revealing historical influences. Temporal Analysis

22. Compares linguocultural aspects of different connected groups; highlighting similarities and differences. Interconnected Ethnic Groups Analyzes interactions between different cultures; using language as a marker of cultural distinction. Cross-Cultural Analysis Explores different mental perspectives; such as French mentality perceived by Russian individuals. Mental Perspectives Comparative and Confrontational Studies

23. Dictionary Compilation Focused on compiling linguo-area studies dictionaries; that integrates cultural context. Cultural Contexts Provide a wide array of cultural concepts; through detailed and culturally sensitive definitions. Linguocultural Lexicography

25. Active Field Interdisciplinary Connections Remains a dynamically developing field; continues evolving with modern linguistic research. Draws from numerous disciplines; offering versatile insights into language and culture. Continued Development

26. 01 02 Markers of Identity Every Culture has concepts; these concepts are markers of unique identity. Examples British culture highlights law, privacy, and lie; key values that resonate uniquely within it. Culture-Specific Concepts

27. Native Speaker’s Mind Rich Insights Highlights unique systems in language; shaping world perception in native speakers. Offers plentiful opportunities for insights; making it a potentially valuable field of study. Promise for Future Research
