Linguoculturology As New Branch Of Linguistics

Abstract

Linguoculturology is closely connected with such disciplines as linguistics, ethnolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitivistics. As a relatively new science, linguoculturology is characterized by a number of contradictions. So, for example, in the framework of linguoculturology, according to V.N. Telia, language phenomena in synchrony should be considered. However, at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries it is necessary to study the language and using not only the synchronous but also the diachronic method. The emergence of linguoculturology is a natural result of the development of the philosophical and linguistic theory of the XIX–XX century. In the last decade, several works devoted to this discipline were published. The most popular in science work can be considered a textbook by V.A. Maslova. It provides a methodological basis, describes the current trends of linguocultural researches.
