I INTRODUCTION
Linguaculture is a concept that focuses on culture in language . Culture and language are connected with each other . If People want to learn any new language , firstly they should be aware of their culture. Because we communicate according to cultural behavior. Language is intrinsic to the expression of culure. As a means of communicating values , beliefs, and customs , it has an important social function and fosters feelings of group identity . In the process of foreign language learning , the cultivation of cross-cultural awareness is of great importance because it serves as the key affecting learning efficiency and communication competence.
Language is not only takes the main role in forming the thoughts of young generation, but also it is important in studying the culture. At the beginning of the 21st century, crosscultural communication is becoming more and more important. However, the knowledge of the foreign language alone is not enough to effectively communicate with representatives of other cultures. As we know, one of the most significant functions of the language is the cumulative function, which means that the language is a link connecting generations; it is the storage and a means of transmitting the extra-linguistic collective experience, as the language not only reflects the contemporary culture, but preserves all its previous stages. Lingua-cultural studies, as follows from the name, it is a subject that, on the one hand, includes learning the language, and, on the other hand, gives certain knowledge about the country of the studied language. The main objective of linguacultural studies is to provide communicative competence for cross-cultural communication. The main task of the subject is to study those units of the language and extra-linguistic phenomena which most vividly reflect the national peculiarities of the foreign culture. That is, our main task is to obtain background knowledge necessary for successful cross-cultural communication.¹
Belonging to a certain culture forms the mentality of the people, in any culture there are cultural values inherent only to it, enshrined in language, moral norms, beliefs, characteristics behavior. There is an opinion that representatives of one nation have general personality traits, types of thinking, patterns of behavior, and the national character of a particular nation is determined. The connection between language and culture is carried out through cultural connotation, which arises as a result of the interpretation of the associative-shaped foundations of phraseological units by correlating it with cultural national standards and stereotypes reflecting popular mentality. V.A. Maslova believes that, “The phraseological component of the language is not only reproducing the elements and features of the cultural and national understanding of the world, but also shapes them. And each phraseological unit, if it contains cultural connotation, contributes to the overall mosaic picture of national culture”.
