Makale Özeti:

Once a person sets a goal of studying the
culture of some country or even of teaching it to foreign
students in classrooms, he/she cannot manage without
taking into account its reflection in the languages. it is the
language that fixes all peculiarities of people’s world
perception and becomes the storage of knowledge about
it. It is in the light of such perception that a human being
sees the world. Thus, one can speak about a linguistic
world view. The linguistic world view is based on the set
of certain concepts. A concept is a great deal broader
than the lexical meaning of a word as it also includes an
evaluative component. Cultures may share the same
concepts or possess their own uniqueness. The latter are
often referred to as national-specific concepts. These are
the concepts that render the peculiarities of nation's
mentality, world view and evaluation of the material
world. In order to understand each other people must
share the set of concepts and the same background
information. This is often referred to as “common
knowledge” [1.P.174-175]. At present considerable
attention is drawn to discourse, especially its political
variety. The analysis of national-specific concepts and the
set of linguistic means which express them in political
discourse seem to be of special interest in the discussion
of typical cultural characteristics as political sphere is
one of the constituent parts of any national culture. Thus,
political discourse contributes to the understanding of the
ways values have been developed. The importance of
linguistic analysis of political discourse as part of culture
teaching can be illustrated using materials from the
African American political discourse, in which such
concepts as ‘freedom’, ‘power’, ‘equality’ and ‘African
American dream’ come to the fore.
