Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of perception of the image of the territory. An important tool of the research is a contrastive analysis of the images of two cities as important world-modeling and axiological mentalities in the linguistic consciousness of the native speakers of Chinese and Belarusian linguacultures. The material of the research is the data of a free associative experiment conducted in the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Belarus with two groups of respondents: students and master’s students of Anhui University and Brest State University named after A. S. The general theoretical basis of the research is the concept of linguistic consciousness accepted in modern psycholinguistics. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that with the help of the anthropometric approach to the semantization of language the features of the perception of the territory by its residents were revealed. It was established that the associative material is largely parameterized and thematically heterogeneous. The specificity of the nuclear-peripheral zoning of associates was revealed. Based on the semantic interpretation, cognitive layers in the structures of the images of the cities of Hefei and Brest were identified. The work contributes to the development of associative linguistics, linguacultural studies, and intercultural communication
