Conceptualization and categorization in terms of linguoculturology

Abstract

This paper attempts to show that the concept of interaction between language and culture is a key concept of a whole series of adjacent human sciences. It is the cross-cutting idea that breaks the borderlines between various disciplines investigating human beings. That is why modern linguocultural studies is not only concerned with interrelation of language and culture, but it also attempts to solve the problem of relationship between language and people’s consciousness and mentality. Cognitive linguistics drew attention to the problems of categorization and conceptualization of language awareness, which eventually enriched linguocultural studies.
