Seminar 12. The basic characteristics of a lingua-cultural concept

Aims:

• Study the initial characteristics of a lingua-cultural concept

• Define the components of a lingua-cultural concept

Problem questions: Can we distinguish certain differences between a lingua-cultural concept and a linguistic concept? What are they? Why is it important to define this kind of concept out of the “concept” in general?

Topic 5. The integral interaction of cross-cultural communication and linguistic concept study as a new perspective in investigation of cognitive ethnic peculiarities.

Seminar 13. Linguistic concept study and cross-cultural communication: backgrounds and aims.

Aims:

• To identify the connection between linguistic concept study and cross-cultural communication

• To differentiate the notion of linguistic concept and its peculiar features

Problem questions: What does the connection between linguistic concept study and cross-cultural communication consist in? Does the absence of knowledge about specifics of linguistic concept seem to be a barrier for communication?

Seminar 14. Linguistic culture studies and lingua-conceptology. Concept as a unit of a collective consciousness that has linguistic expression and the marked ethnic and cultural specificity

Aims :

• To distinguish the main backgrounds of development of linguistic culture studies

• To define the notion of concept from the linguistic culture studies’ point of view

• To study the main peculiarities of ethno-cultural specificity of concept

Problem questions:

Can we consider the linguistic conciseness to be a form of abstract thinking? Can we consider a concept to be a form of collective consciousness? What influence does the ethnic identity of a human make on his consciousness and world vision?
