Cultural Interpretation Of The Study Of Russian Language Picture Of The World: Theories And Methods

The culture-interpretative study of the world mapping in the Russian language uses the reasonable kernel of former scholars for reference and assimilate the essence of those studies. It attempts to establish a set of systematic and operable theory and methodology towards typological analysis of ethno-cultural significative sense and its dialogical interpretation. It can be assumed that the study of the world mapping in the Russian language is a kind of cultural hermeneutic of language. Starting from the language sign, it incorporates the ethno-cultural mentality, the way of thinking, the aesthetic judgment and the world view into the theoretical framework of the world mapping of language. It endeavors to reveal and interpret coagulation and extract of representation, concept and idea in the view of language sign. In so doing, it provides us with a possibility to consummate our understanding of the semantic structure of the denotative unit, and to guide semantic analysis toward the layers of ethno-cultural mentality. If we make knowledge return to sense, then sense becomes a kind of creative generation. The content of intertext-dialogue converts the analyzing process of the text into a dynamic cycle. The dialogues between the writer, the text, and the reader make the interpretation of the text open to boundless creation. What ensures the validity of the interpreting process is the text itself as well as the open-ended space of dialogical interpretation.
