Abstract

In this article, the author addresses the issues of mutual influence and close relationship between society, language and culture. The primary focus is on the relationship between language and culture, which is now studied by such fields of science as linguoculturology, ethnolinguistics and linguistic personology (cognitive linguistics can be also added to this list). The author asserts that the issues considered by these scientific fields are centred around a human being as a bearer of the language and culture. The relevance of the problem under study is conditioned by the modern linguistic situation in the international space in the context of globalization and consists in the discovery of modern trends in linguistics, which deepen the achievements of linguistics in the XIX and XX centuries. The revelation of language phenomenon as the basis of human civilization will be one of the greatest linguistic discoveries. The article focuses on the actual trends in modern linguistics which are in close interrelation with culture and have the areas of common interests with other sciences, the basis of which was laid by such great thinkers as V. Humboldt, F. Saussure, A. A. Potebnya and their followers. At the present time linguoculturology, linguopersonology, cognitive linguistics, ethnolinguistics, actively assert themselves forming the core of the anthropocentric paradigm of linguistics. The study of this problem is mainly based on anthropocentric approach, including sociosphere, ethnosphere, semiosphere and biosphere, and human is the highest link in this integrative interaction. The main results of the article give an idea of close interinfluence between language, culture, human, society and ethnos. In fact, if to consider all these interactions, a spherical model enterable from any point can be envisioned. The sciences common areas discovered allow talking about knowledge integration, need to use interdisciplinary approaches to analyzing and explaining the phenomena of language and culture, further introducing the results of the research into various fields and practices, for example, in humanitarian disciplines teaching practice.
