Russian Language World Picture Multidimensional Research

Since the middle of20th century, the study of linguistics has got rid of the restriction of constructionist linguistics which concentrates mainly on the construction of language, and shifted to the focus of "language in use" and "language user". There have been several fundamental changes in the study of linguistics-from langue to parole, from form to meaning, from construction to function, from surface description to deep cognition. Consequently, parole, meaning, function and cognition have become the mainstream and hot topic in the study of linguistics.Since1980s and1990s, propelled by the prevailing scientific researching trend of "Anthropocentrism", the paradigm of linguistic study had changed fundamentally, entering into the study of subject, namely, to the "Anthropocentric paradigm" that focuses on "speakers" or "communicators". The researching content of linguistics had also been profoundly changed under the influence of "Anthropocentric paradigm", The study of linguistics had begun to emphasize on a series of "factors of people", especially on the linguistic terminologies and concepts related to the cognition and psychology of people, such as metaphorical cognition, metaphorization, categorization, conceptualization, cognitive vision and Language World Vision, among which the Language World Vision had aroused the greatest attention of Russian linguistic scholars from home and abroad.The Language World Vision ((?)), which has been widely used in linguistic circle currently, is a terminology put forward by the Soviet Union linguists. It has been one of the most active key words in the field of linguistics, the hot topic in linguistics, especially in linguistic cultural studies ever since1980s. The Language World Vision is an epitome of a people’s cognition and spirit towards reality, that is, the reflection of national culture and thinking mode. Generally speaking, the Language World Vision derives from what Humboldt, a German linguist, proposed "each language contains a unique world view" which had been referred to as the theory of "Language World View" The Language World Vision is a theory focusing on the correlations among language, mind/cognition and objective reality, especially on the epitome of people’s cognition and psychology that belong to "factors of people", which is in accordance with the content of philosophical studies. As a leading theory in modern linguistics, the Language World Vision is not a new philosophical proposition, for the reason that the correlation between language, mind and reality had long been the permanent theme of linguistic studies. What are different lies in the Language World Vision, with more abstractness and complexity emphasizes on language and people, especially on the relationship between people’s spiritual activities and practical activities. The Language World Vision has a great influence on people’s mind/cognition by Conceptual World Vision that is a relatively fixed thought pattern guiding the generation and understanding of utterances, as well as a knowledge system and cognitive construction participating in cognitive activities.The Russian Language World Vision is a grand knowledge system. To apprehend this system, some multidimensional approaches are needed to cover the shortage of any individual studies. It should include both individual studies-on the interpretation of connotation and concept, and general studies-on the exploration of the similarities of knowledge system. Individual studies could provide us a multidimensional perspective to understand and comprehend the connotation and knowledge system. Through individual studies, we can find common properties that could combines the dispersive individual studies, offering a useful tool for us to understand and comprehend the Russian Language World Vision completely and thoroughly, and more importantly, to construct the general Language World Vision of Russian.The theory of Language World Vision has been an inter-discipline ever since the very beginning. Russian psychological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, linguistic cultural studies have conducted various individual studies respectively on the Russian Language World Vision regarding connotation and conceptual knowledge. Yet, these individual studies are relatively dispersive and are lack of continuity. As a matter of fact, the studies done from these disciplines share a lot in common, namely, they have the same philosophical orientation of "Anthropocentric paradigm". From the perspective of "Anthropocentric paradigm", the Russian Language World Vision will come to the surface which is quite necessary. Because it contains some general and invariable world view that will help us to gain a complete and thorough apprehension of the Russian Language World Vision and to construct the knowledge system of the general Language World Vision of Russian. By the analysis of concrete linguistic data, however,.we can find that the Language World Vision does not simply study, which vision exists in languages, but concentrates on how the vision in languages is perceived and conceived by people. The Language World Vision is a significant thought pattern, through the study of people, to interpret the generation and understanding of language in specific linguistic phenomenon. It is also an approach and angle to observe, perceive and divide the world.
