Language. Culture. Discourse

Abstract

The monograph represents a new interpretation of the relationship between the phenomenon of a Man and the triad of LANGUAGE – CULTURE – DISCOURSE. Taking into account the new cognitive-discursive approach, the authors made an attempt to harmonize their scientific observations with the content of the studied macrolinguistic issues in three parts of the monograph. A general methodology was developed for analysis of factual material. The key narratives of each type of discourse reproduce the value constants and dominants of ethnic groups at various stages of civilizational and planetary development. The concept of the monograph is the triad of LANGUAGE – CULTURE – DISCOURSE that is interpret- ed as an extremely complex synergistic continuum of an open type, which takes on material form with the participation of a Man, i.e. a representative of certain social communities and, at the same time, a generator of various types of speech, which ensures efficient communication of its participants.
