Ethnostereotyping of Affirmation and Negation in Languages with Differ-ent Structures

The article is a comparative analysis of linguistic objectification of ethnostereotypical representations of speakers of languages with different structures associated with affirmation and negation. Based on the material of non-closely related Kabardino-Circassian, Russian and English languages, the work of the national mental-lingual apparatus in the process of conceptualization of the surrounding reality is analyzed. The use of both general scientific and linguistic methods, including methods of interpretative, etymological, componential, contextual analysis, as well as comparison and generalization, made it possible to identify universal and linguistic-specific features of the lexical and grammatical explication of ethnocultural information associated with affirmation and negation. A comparative study of languages with different structures allows to reveal an alternative conceptualization of the external world, as well as to identify the features of each language that may remain undisclosed during an autonomous study of individual languages.
