Lysenko L. Linguistic-cultural factors and their influence on mental identity formation of ethnic groups

As follows from the results of the thesis research performed, special features of the origin and formation of cultural linguistics as a separate scientific discipline in the context of anthropocentric paradigm were comprehensively studied and analyzed. It was proven that the anthropocentric paradigm focusing on language studies based on human factors, made Homo loquens the corner stone of the research, while the symphony of language and culture - its key phenomenon, in which mentality of ethnic groups of its native speakers is objectified. As the anthropocentric paradigm in humanitaristics became stronger, the focus of the research was shifted according to allegoric metaphor, from the lyre of Orpheus to his individuality. As per needs of Homo loquens, it was determined that reality was not becoming objectively actual in culture of language, rather it was anthropocentrically marked, moreover, it was marked ethno-specifically. That is, being a creator of culture of language, an individuality is the only subject of conceptualization of reality in semantics and semiotics of sign, while language and culture are starting to be researched in the existential dimension through a prism of the mental field. With this shift of accents, vast creative energy of language as a factor generating cultural space was released, causing an introduction of a separate integrational branch cultural linguistics that synthesized the results of research in numerous human sciences.
