Abstract

The paper discusses the features of using the concepts of “cultural code”, “linguacultural code” in the studies of Belarusian and Russian authors. It is important to note that many researchers, referring to the concept of a cultural code, take into account the approaches proposed by R. Bart and Y. Lotman. According to R. Barth, the cultural code is considered as a whole, a “macro image”, a matrix of national worldview and self-consciousness. However, there are a number of classifications of cultural codes. According to Y. Lotman, cultural codes may form a system. The paper presents systems of V. Telia, V. Maslova, M. Pimenova, V. Krasnykh, S. Sanko and others. In different studies, there are from four to several dozen types of cultural codes: anthropomorphic, animalistic (zoomorphic, animal, zoological), temporal (temporal, calendar-chronological), gastronomic (food), subject, spatial (physical-geographical, landscape-topographic), vegetable (vegetative, phytomorphic, botanical), somatic (bodily), theomorphic (divine), color (colorful), value (spiritual), etc. As the author points out the studies on the functioning of certain cultural codes in literary, media discourses, art, as well as the use of methods of complex and comparative analysis in linguistics, literary criticism, and art criticism are highly relevant.
