Аннотация:The Russian psycholinguistic school views culture as a means to externalize ethnicconsciousness. Language is another semiotic form of consciousness existence. Bothculture and language unite people into one ethnic group and at the same time differentiateone ethnic group from another. Language objectifies consciousness images and arrangesthem into an ethnic linguistic image of the world. Via the language, it is possible “to gainaccess” to the ethnic consciousness and to reconstruct its somewhat incompleteequivalent which has been termed “language (verbal) consciousness”.
