GRAMMATICAL FEATURES OF THE EXPLICATIONOF THE CAUSATION IN DIFFERENT LINGUOCULTURES

Causation is one of the fundamental conditions of existence. The cause-and-effect rela­tionships between elements of reality, which possess universal significance, are reflected dif­ferently across linguocultures and manifest at various levels of language. A comparative ana­lysis of the grammatical features of causative expression in structurally diverse languages — Kabardian, or East-Circassian, Russian, and English — has revealed differences in com­mu­ni­cative behavior shaped by the cultural backgrounds of speakers. English causative con­struc­tions, whose cultural elaboration constitutes a distinctive typological feature of the lan­guage, emphasize the autonomy and freedom of the causer. In the Kabardian linguoculture, unlike in Russian and English, permissive or imperative meanings of causation are deter­mined by con­text. For native speakers of Russian and Kabardian, a direct imperative is not perceived as less polite compared to permissive causative constructions, as is often the case in English-speaking cultures. In today’s integrated world, intercultural adaptation represents a central and defin­ing challenge. Decoding ethnocultural differences in the formation of causa­tive constructions across diverse linguistic systems contributes to a deeper understanding of the unique mental frameworks of speakers and fosters more effective intercultural communi­cation.

Abstract

Causation is one of the fundamental conditions of existence. The cause-and-effect rela­tionships between elements of reality, which possess universal significance, are reflected dif­ferently across linguocultures and manifest at various levels of language. A comparative ana­lysis of the grammatical features of causative expression in structurally diverse languages — Kabardian, or East-Circassian, Russian, and English — has revealed differences in com­mu­ni­cative behavior shaped by the cultural backgrounds of speakers. English causative con­struc­tions, whose cultural elaboration constitutes a distinctive typological feature of the lan­guage, emphasize the autonomy and freedom of the causer. In the Kabardian linguoculture, unlike in Russian and English, permissive or imperative meanings of causation are deter­mined by con­text. For native speakers of Russian and Kabardian, a direct imperative is not perceived as less polite compared to permissive causative constructions, as is often the case in English-speaking cultures. In today’s integrated world, intercultural adaptation represents a central and defin­ing challenge. Decoding ethnocultural differences in the formation of causa­tive constructions across diverse linguistic systems contributes to a deeper understanding of the unique mental frameworks of speakers and fosters more effective intercultural communi­cation.
