The Construction Method and Material Selection of the Concept of Linguistic-Cultural Type in Russian Linguistics

This paper is based on the study of language and cultural type theory. It explores the construction method of the type of personality concept and the selection of materials behind it. This study selects and analyzes the research successes in linguistics since the linguist V.I. Karasik proposed the theory of Linguistic-cultural Type in 2002, with the screening criteria of having a clear object of study and a source of research materials, and the time period of works that have been published between 2002 and 2024. We conclude that the use of diverse methods and sufficient data sources can ensure the comprehensiveness of the research results, while the diversity of research materials should be accepted, no longer limited to dictionary entries and literary texts, and the concept of Linguistic-cultural Type should be collated and analyzed from a comprehensive range of materials over time in order to ensure the representativeness of the research data. Theoretical aspect: This study expands the theory of Linguistic-cultural Type and enriches the theoretical model from the original “term + structural composition” to “term + structural composition + material collection method and optional material sources”. Practical aspect: All the material selection and collection methods provided in this study can be applied to the study of Linguistic-cultural Type in other research subjects, and also provide material inspiration for the study of Linguistic-cultural Type in language and cultural communication, foreign language teaching and learning, and cross-cultural Type personality research.
