ON THE ISSUE OF INTERPRETATION LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL CONCEPTS FROM THE POSITION OF INTERCULTURAL APPROACH (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE GERMAN AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES)

Abstract

The article discusses theoretical and practical problems in the study of German-language and Russian-language linguocultural concepts from the perspective of an intercultural approach. Interpreting of the linguocultural concept developed by the authors of the article contains the following signs of the structural nature of the concept: a core, which contains linguistic units that have: a) semantic meaning related to a specific national culture; b) etymological meaning, that is, having historical roots; c) the associative meaning inherent in a given national culture or national cultures; d) contextual linguocultural meaning; e) interpretive cultural significance; f) value-labelled statements inherent in a given national culture; the perinuclear layer, which contains language units that do not have clear distinctive recognition in comparison with nuclear language units, but also have the above values. The near-nuclear layer of the conceptual model is filled with linguistic means that are distantly related to the theme of the concept; therefore, the meanings will be quantitatively and qualitatively changed.
