Abstract |
Language is an essential part of communication – it forms culture and provides it with transferring of social knowledge. Language, culture and communication are inseparable from each other and are the basis of human existence. Thorough approach to everyday life practices makes it possible to reveal their sign character and define them as specific language systems which give clear vision of aesthetic, ethical etc. peculiarities of a given epoch. Travel notes are an essential resource of our knowledge about everyday life of the nation. They offer us rich material about people, their appearance, historic events etc. Among other details travel notes contain a lot of interesting data about costume which can be regarded as a special sign system, language of culture, delivering information not only about its owner, but the whole epoch as well. The paper chose as an example the travel notes “Frigate Pallade” by I. A. Goncharov. In one of its chapters costume becomes an original communicative code for intercultural interaction. |
