ABSTRACT 
This article deals with the relationship between the cognitive processing of a 
literary text and the literary-aesthetic experience of real-life readers. It presents several 
kinds of failures in the reading process, based on the foregrounding model. 
Foregrounding is the process whereby a textual element becomes salient relative to 
other elements, part of the text’s “forefront”, and therefore more available for literary
interpretation. Foregrounding theory is one of the leading theories in the empirical study 
of literature, with considerable literature to support it.

Language is a dynamic set of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of
 
communication. Definitely language is one of the most important phenomena of
 
culture. Culture in linguistics is described as socially acquired knowledge of the
 
world, as well as attitudes towards it. The power of language to reflect culture and
 
influence thinking was first proposed by an American linguist and anthropologist,
 
Edward Sapir (1884
–
1939), and his student, Benjamin Whorf (1897
–
1941).
 
Linguoculturology is a relatively new science that has arisen at the junction
 
of two sciences

Linguistics and cultural studies. The subject of today's cultural
 
linguistics is the study of the cultural semantics of linguistic signs, which is formed
 
in interaction of two different codes 
–
the language and culture, as each person is
