SYNERGY OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVE OF XXI-CENTURY LINGUOCULTUROLOGY

Abstract

The article focuses on dynamic language-culture correlation in the context of modern linguoculturology. This linguocultural research is a version of cultural studies which places language at its heart. At an everyday, human and scientific level linguocultural interests, pursuits and problems have never been more important. The subject matter of this article is therefore crucially topical and reflects the current demand of modern linguistics for new and profound research in this sphere. The topicality is also determined by the linguoculturology evolution into integrative interdisciplinary field of modern humanitarian knowledge in which perspectives from different disciplines can be selectively drawn on to examine the relations of culture, mind and language. The research focuses on dynamic, synergetic mutual interaction of language, culture and mentality reflected in the academic concept and viewed in theoretical aspect. It also defines linguoculture as a key concept of XXI century linguoculturology. Our study relies substantially on the application of linguistic descriptive methodology and devices. The main aim of the work is to describe the complex mechanism of two fundamental categories synergy. The objective determined the tasks of the research: to clarify and describe continuous dynamic complex process of language and culture correlation through linguoculturilogy perspective and define the much disputed key terms –“linguoculturology”,’linguoculture” and “the language of culture”. The research claims that language and culture realationship is characterized by two-sided parity, mutual influence and dependence, inseparable integrity and coherence.
