Keywords:
cultural linguistics, language and culture, cultural reality, paradigm, conceptualization, cognition, consciousness, philosophy, language system, social processes.Abstract
This article analyzes the interrelationship between language and culture based on modern scientific approaches and explores their theoretical aspects. Language and culture are interpreted as interconnected complex systems, revealing the essence of their interaction and semantic unity. The study focuses on the systematic analysis of cultural meanings expressed through language within the framework of cultural linguistics. The findings demonstrate that the integration of language and culture serves as a key factor in shaping cultural reality in human consciousness.
