Connotative meaning in the linguoculturological context
Summary
By connotative meaning in the linguocultural context is meant the study of the national cultural
features of the connotative semantics of the linguistic unit in the context of the connection between
language and culture. In identification the national and cultural connotation of a language unit,
information related to the culture of the country, people, and nation plays an important role. In each
language, in each culture appear their specific meanings – connotations. The mechanism of their
inception is associated with the strengthening of certain aspects of meaning. In the expression of
cultural connotations a special role belongs to phraseological units and metaphors. However, there are
meanings that in all languages of the world have a universal expression, and therefore not all
phraseological and paremiological units are characterized by a national cultural connotation. The
coincidence of cultural connotations in certain cultures is a special case, since in varying degrees
cultures can correspond to each other. In other words, the vocabulary expressing the same objects, in
different peoples has the same connotative semantics. And this is an indicator of the intercultural ties
of different nations.
