Abstract
The article introduces a new approach in linguoculturology based on the semantic analysis of the lexemes, which may become perspective in the studies of the triad: language – personality – national world view. The paper manifests the relevance of this approach, determines the aim – the research of the semantic structure of a lexeme, and the object – common neutral vocabulary (“face, hand, head, metro, dacha, bath-hous, cottedge”). The analysis of the word’s meaning sheds light on the differences between linguocultural and cross-cultural components of words. A set of methods are used: the method of the analysis of the vocabulary definitions, the contextual method and the component analysis of lexemes. The anticipated results provide an opportunity to understand and explain the world view in multisystem languages. This research has both theoretical and practical value.

Linguistic regional geography has for a long time played an important role in foreign language teaching whereas linguocultural study has recently become an actual branch in the methodology
The study of culture such as reflection in national languages and interpretation of language factors through the cultural component becomes an extremely perspective for the fundamental science and for the language teaching methodology
Summary
At present the teaching of foreign language is based on the theory of cross-cultural communication. The model of understanding of the foreign culture is a cognitive model of the real world It goes through perception of new notions, decoding their meanings and contents to the conceptualization and interpretation.It is important to add new knowledge to the well-known ones. The problem of adequacy of the communication in the cross-cultural domain is solved with the help of linguocultural and regional geography studies. Both disciplines pursue one aim: a dialogue with “foreign minds”. Linguistic regional geography has for a long time played an important role in foreign language teaching whereas linguocultural study has recently become an actual branch in the methodology. The study of culture such as reflection in national languages and interpretation of language factors through the cultural component becomes an extremely perspective for the fundamental science and for the language teaching methodology
