Features of the implementation of linguistic modeling of the world in the information environment (based on the material of the Russian and Chuvash languages)

The work aims to identify the national and cultural specifics of the linguistic representation of the concepts “human” and “the surrounding world” (based on Russian and Chuvash language material). The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that it is the first one to present the results of the study of the linguistic representation of the concepts “human” and “the surrounding world” from the perspective of cognitive and computational linguistics. The study has revealed that the identified concepts are determined by the presence of universal and ethnically specific properties, which means that these conceptual structures play an important role in the mechanism of linguistic categorization of the world as an ethno-cultural identifier. Concepts that are grouped into classes and then into clusters are characterized by features that are determined by ethnically specific representations of the surrounding world, which have conceptual and verbal functioning. The relationships between them can have nested properties, so that it is possible to form a hierarchy of properties in the same way as a hierarchy of classes. They reflect the collective consciousness of the people, contribute to the identification of universal and ethno-specific features in the perception and cognition of the world by different peoples, and allow for the study of how these features are actualized in the semantics of linguistic signs.
