Course Book on Russian Lingua-cultural Studies (KEGA 072UK-4/2015)
The goal of the project is, first, to carry out research in the field of lingua-cultural studies, and second, to elaborate the course book entitled Russian Lingua-Cultural Studies for the needs of teaching process within the study program on Russian and East-European Studies and Russian Language and Culture of the Russian language and Literature Department at the School of Arts of the Comenius University in Bratislava. Both the research and the elaboration of the course book’s texts will be carried out with the application of the methodological conception of a unity of both language and culture in a line with modern trend of educational process which centres on an individual human being’s language perception of his/her environment. The projected course book will be useful also to other institutes and experts at the Slovak universities who do research in the field of Russian and Slavonic studies. Lingua-cultural studies do represent the newest field of research that has been formed in the aftermath of the recent changes of a cognitive-pragmatic nature within linguistic studies, which find themselves in the process of formulation of their methodological paradigm, including their teaching methods at universities. The course book will aim at, first, teaching foreign language through getting knowledge about culture, and, second, getting knowledge about culture in foreign language (e.g. language via culture, culture via language). It will contribute to both better perception and reception of Russian lingua-cultural studies within a Slovak cultural area.
