SPECIFIC FEATURES OF CULTURAL SEMANTICS IN THE LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD

Abstract

This study explores the specific features of cultural semantics within the linguistic picture of the world. Cultural semantics refers to the ways in which language reflects and shapes cultural values, beliefs, and practices. The linguistic picture of the world encompasses the collective understanding and interpretation of reality as constructed through language. Through an interdisciplinary approach drawing on linguistics, anthropology, and cultural studies, this research investigates how cultural semantics influence the meanings and connotations of words, expressions, and linguistic structures. It examines the role of cultural context, historical developments, and social dynamics in shaping semantic representations within different languages and communities. By analyzing specific examples from diverse cultural and linguistic contexts, this study aims to shed light on the intricate relationship between language and culture, and to deepen our understanding of the complex interplay between linguistic meaning and cultural significance.
