Abstract:
This paper is devoted to the study of a student’s
linguistic personality from the standpoint of the theory of
linguistic-cultural types. The relevance of the study is due to the
actively developing anthropological linguistics field of the theory
of linguocultural type, within the framework of which generalized
recognizable personalities as representatives of a certain linguistic
culture are considered. The object under study is the conceptual
characteristics and the resulting reactions to the stimulus word
“student”. The purpose of this work is to linguistically represent a
student as a person, to describe the notional component of the
typified personality concept based on associative attributes. The
paper proposes to expand the conceptual space of a character type
by means of the associations obtained and to consider the
character type of “student” as a person who is beyond the bounds
of a cliche. The character type of student is a vivid representative
of the sociocultural group, embodying the educational values of
society. According to our observations, the description of the
linguocultural character type of student through the eyes of
students themselves gives a more detailed representation of the
substantive component of the concept. The study is based on the
associative and semantic field “student” which includes linguistic
units reflecting the lexical-semantic space of student life;
associated with the mental, emotional, physical, material,
intellectual condition of a student; denoting character traits
representing specific concepts / specific objects of the material
world (educational supplies, a kind of instant food, etc.), etc.
