NATIONAL AND CULTURAL SPECIFICS OF THE CONCEPTUAL TOPONYM VLADIVOSTOK IN THE RUSSIAN AND CHINESE LANGUAGE PICTURES OF THE WORLD

Abstract

The article studies the specifics of perception of a city of Vladivostok in the minds of modern representatives of Russian and Chinese ethnic groups. The authors emphasize the importance of studying a toponymic object, common to both cultures, when considering features of national and cultural elements based on identifying the reactions of native speakers of Russian and Chinese languages on the example of Vladivostok. The article demonstrates the most effective way to identify language reactions for a more complete representation of features of the linguistic world pictures of the Russian and Chinese languages. Within the framework of the linguoculturological approach taken as the basis of the study, the authors distinguish the concept of “cultural code”, the study of which covers a fairly large number of works on the study of toponymic units, the content of the cultural code. According to the authors, the study reflects cultural-historical and national-ethnic information about the world, presented on the material of the ethno-cultural consciousness of native speakers.
