Componential analysis. It is based on the linguistic postulate that lexical meaning can be segmented into minimal semantic components (semes). The method includes techniques of a multi-stage definitional analysis and that of associative field. In Linguoculturology this method is applied to the semantic structure of culture-specific unit with the aim to reveal: a) cultural meaning of the linguocultureme (Christmas, penny, pub); b) cultural semes (home, carol, heart); c) cultural connotations (turkey, oak, rose).

Etymological analysis studies the origin of linguocultural units, the stages of their evolution with the aim to discover the sources of cultural information.

Typological analysis is concerned with analysis, comparison and classification of linguocultural units according to their common features. Typological analysis is aimed at: a) the classification of the types of linguocultural units, i.e., the construction of a system of linguoculturemes on the basis of their similarity; b) the analysis of linguocultural universals belonging to different languages.
