The linguistic picture of the world
The linguistic picture of the world is formed by coding knowledge about life and the ways of learning about the world by people. According to G.A. Brutyan, ‘the linguistic picture of the world is common information about the internal and external world expressed in living language’. A.A. Zaliznyak describes the term ‘the linguistic picture of the world’ as a set of ideas about the world embodied in the meaning of different linguistic units (lexical units, set phrases, certain syntactic constructions, etc., which form a single system of views) or prescriptions [Abdullayeva, p. 16].
The language picture of the world is defined as the representation of the real world in the system of concepts and categories of the language [Ufimtseva, p. 6].
The language picture of the world is an infinite capability of interpretations and perspectives based on linguistic and extra-linguistic human experience – of the individual, but also experience of a collective – a group of representatives of the cultural-social realities. It is a portrait of reality without title to accuracy and fidelity, so it isn’t a picture of real objects [Siroka, p. 299].
