Description
Summary:The significance of the theme is conditioned by the importance in the preservation of languages and cultures of minor ethnic groups. Because of lack of material and research in this area, there is particular need and prerequisite of further observation through interdisciplinary analyses. The aim of the paper is to elicit recent database and research on the cultural and language pictures of the world in two related Eskimos languages which are Naukan and Central Yupik. For the complete study of conceptual patterns of such language units as colours, interdisciplinary methods, as ethnolinguistic and cognitive analyses as well as comparative and contrastive, have been applied. As a result of above mentioned methods the language units of colours were compared, initially having attempted to find out significant similarities and differences between them. The outcome of this study shows remarkable linguistic resemblance between two groups of language units. However, the cognitive processes within the comprehension and perception of color identification vary in those relative languages, demonstrating completely diverse cultural images of the world. : Значимость исследования данной темы обусловливается необходимостью изучения и восстановления языков и культур этнических групп Чукотки и Аляски. Такими являются науканский и центрально-юпикский языки. В данной статье сделана попытка выявить сходства и различия языковых единиц цвета, а также проанализировать деривацию и восприятие этих единиц в языковой картине мира. Для полного анализа использовали междисциплинарный подход и такие методы как этнолингвистический, когнитивный, также сравнительно-сопоставительный. В результате данного анализа было обнаружено значительное сходство лексических единиц и различие в ассоциативном мышлении людей разных языковых картин мира. : №1(21) (2020)
