La Linguistica cultural : una aportacion a la metodologia

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the research apparatus of the cultural linguistics. I understand the cultural linguistics as a multidimensional research system which, depending of the phenomenon under investigation uses various tools. Hence, the research apparatus of cultural linguistics covers both cognitive and pragmatic tools and it can also use the instruments typical for ethnolinguistics. However the most important tool serving in a sense as an authorization of later cognitive and pragmatic studies is an analysis by means of notional decomposition. When a subject of research is language changes created mainly as a result of an encounter of two different visions of the world, a decomposition of notional structure of the expressions into basic elements seems the most reasonable and even a necessary starting point.
