Linguoculturology: Linguistic Means of National Mentality Expression in Cultural Studies

Abstract

This article examines the linguistic means of expressing national mentality within linguocultural studies. It analyzes how language elements reflect cultural identity, mental frameworks, and worldviews specific to different nations. Through a comprehensive literature review, the paper identifies key linguistic markers of national mentality, their classification, and methodological approaches to their study. The findings demonstrate that national mentality manifests through various linguistic levels, including lexical, phraseological, and grammatical structures, with significant implications for cross-cultural communication and translation studies.
