Methods used in Cultural Linguistics

Linguoculturology as an independent branch of linguistics is supposed to have its own methods and techniques of analysis. However, being an interdisciplinary, integral science, Linguoculturology employs a combination of methods; some of them are borrowed from the adjacent disciplines – Cognitive Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Ethnolinguistics, Sociolinguistics, etc., others – have been worked out within the domain of Linguoculturology. It should be kept in mind that even the borrowed methods undergo certain modifications, they are adjusted to the aims of linguocultural studies. In this chapter we intend to suggest the methods which seem most adequate for Linguoculturology.
