Questions such as What is beauty? What is beautiful? Who's handsome? are as ancient as the world itself. The answers to these questions are of interest to everyone from Plato to the present generation. These questions, first of all, require an understanding of the philosophical and aesthetic nature of "beauty". However, the problem of analyzing the expression of the concept of "beauty" in the language (in the English, Uzbek and Tajik national cultures) has not been studied from the point of view of cognitive linguistics and linguistic Culturology. Consequently, the aesthetic picture of the world in English, Uzbek and Tajik languages, the possibility of expressing and reflecting the concept of "beauty" on the phraseological and lexical tiers of the language, the interpretation of values in different cultures, comparative analysis of linguistic and cultural features, and the study in direct connection with cognitive linguistics, linguoculturology, general linguistics determine the relevance of the topic of the article

In this announcement, the various –linguistic and non-linguistic- symbols used in the literary work 'Around the world in 80 days', written by Jules Verne, are examined from an intertemporal and contemporary point of view. The references through these points of view, in matters of multiculturalism and multilingualism, are becoming classical in nature: they concern the necessity of the applied ability to communicate between individuals who belong to different social classes and age groups, speak the same or different languages, come from different cultures, with rights and obligations in their various areas of life, etc. Key-words: linguistics, multilingualism, multiculturalism, semiotics, semiotic systems, symbols

Intercultural communication develops based on two interconnected premises. First, you live in a time when changing technology, travel, economic and political systems, immigration patterns, and population density have resulted in a world in which you regularly interact with people from different cultures. Second, nowadays, people are very sensitive to the fact that the influence of culture on communication is very close and great. Your cultural background and experience help you determine how the world should be for you and how you will interact with it. Anthropological perspective in intercultural communication is looking at intercultural communication from an anthropological point of view, because the communication already contains cultural values. Intercultural communication is part of the marriage between the disciplines of anthropology and communication which later became a separate discipline both in communication science and in anthropology. Anthropology is one of the fields of science that is the root or foundation of the birth of communication science. In subsequent developments, cultural experts realized the importance of communication in the cultural field.

Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? These fundamental questions have been widespread throughout human history, shared across different cultures from distant epochs and geographical locations. The search has been as much a philosophical as an empirical one, capturing the imagination of the philosopher, the theologian, the artist and the scientist alike. Hence, the quest for unveiling our origins is probably as old as humanity itself. From a scientific point of view, which we address in the present article, the question of human origins became deeply intertwined with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in the late 19th century. This led to the development of scientific fields such as palaeoanthropology, which analyses fossil remains, stone tools and cultural artefacts to piece together our past. Recently, however, the possibility to assess genetic information from thousands of individuals across the world and, more importantly, to obtain DNA from specimens that lived thousands of years in the past (so-called ancient DNA [aDNA] analyses) is rapidly transforming long-held beliefs about our origins. As such, we have never been in a better position to ask what do our genomes have to tell us about where we came from. Ultimately, however, can they tell us who we are?

RÉSUMÉ. La gastronomie est un élément inséparable de la vie humaine. Elle possède sa propre cosmologie qui s’attache à la culture d’une nation. Comparer deux cultures différentes vers la gastronomie ouvre un nouveau paradigme de réfléchir pour recueillir un point de vue sur le monde puisqu’il s’agit de la communication interculturelle qui amène aux étudiants au savoir-vivre côte à côte. Cette étude tente donc d’analyser l‘interculturalité pour résoudre les problèmes de la compréhension culturelle à partir des termes culinaires en français et en indonésien ainsi que les valeurs comprises. La recherche est menée en utilisant la méthode descriptive-qualitative, en observant les données d’une manière linguistique et culturelle. Comme les données viennent de cultures différentes, il est pratiqué donc de mesures comparatives. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent que la gastronomie comprend des symboles et qu’elle prend une position pertinente dans la conception culturelle surtout dans la formation de stéréotypes basée sur la langue. Ce résultat d’analyse n’est qu’un simple exemplaire de l’étude interculturelle qui propose encore de possibilités à développer. Mots-clés : interculturalité, gastronomie, symbolisme.     ABSTRACT. Gastronomy is an inseparable element of human life. It has its own cosmology that ties into the culture of a nation. Comparing two different cultures towards gastronomy opens up a new paradigm of thinking to gather a point of view on the world since it is about intercultural communication which brings students to life skills side by side. This study therefore attempts to analyze interculturality in order to solve the problems of cultural understanding from culinary terms in French and Indonesian as well as the values understood. The research is conducted using the descriptive-qualitative method, observing the data linguistically and culturally. As the data come from different cultures, there are therefore comparative measures. Research results show that gastronomy includes symbols and that it takes a relevant position in cultural conception, especially in the formation of stereotypes. This finding of the analysis is only a simple copy of the intercultural study which still has possibilities to develop. Keywords: interculturality, gastronomy, symbolism.

The article is devoted to the issues of cognitive linguistics, which studies language as a communication tool. The article postulates that cognitive linguistics is an approach to the analysis of natural language, which has as its main goal the study of language as a tool for organizing, processing and transmitting information. The author puts forward a point of view that it is fundamentally important for cognitive linguistics to analyze the conceptual base of linguistic categories, as well as certain mechanisms of information processing. The subject of the analysis in the article is the characteristic of the ratio of linguistic and cognitive modules. The purpose of the article is to analyze the correlation of linguistic and cognitive modules. The methodological basis of the study includes theoretical works on cognitive linguistics and philosophical theory of cognition, for which the priority is the study of language as a cognitive mechanism that contributes to encoding and transforming information. The emphasis is placed on the fact that language serves cognition, which is understood as both scientific and everyday comprehention of the world, realized in the processes of its conceptualization and categorization. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of verbal and non-verbal communication using the example of mental representations formed in childhood. The results of the analysis underline the ambiguous interpretation of the problem, revealing the mechanism of perception and generation of speech. A conclusion is made that communication can be divided into intentional and non-intentional. Evidence was found that the information transmission can be carried out without intention, i.e., not all information can be intentional.

From a geographical point of view, Europe isn't a continent at all without the (far greater) Asian part and all too often the question arises: where does Europe start and where does it end? As a space open towards all inhabited areas of the world, Europe was the place where for centuries the most different cultures met each other, mixed, and waged wars. A society characterised by peaceful co-existence and harsh conflicts was forged, where religion, culture, ethnic groups, ideology, race and mentality created differences between the peoples.

Russian folk tale surprises with its rich vocabulary, colorful turns, and unusual stylistic methods. In order to plunge into the world of the Russian folk tale, in this article, we will analyze each feature separately and highlight more indicative features in each. The tale has a generalizing idea that has been developed over the centuries. In a fairy tale, artistic thought itself plays a huge role, and this unity is created thanks to certain means: repetitions, epithets, hyperbole, antithesis and other stylistic and compositional techniques. From the point of view of their stylistic specifics, Russian folk tales are taken a particular interest. Ergis G.U. argued that not only their content but also the stylistic features of the text serve as a means of moral education of the reader. The grammatical properties of units consist of: forms of words, phrases, sentences, order of units, grammatical meanings of forms, etc.

This paper presents some considerations regarding the aesthetic experience from a neuroaesthetic point of view. The approach proposed here can take the discussions beyond the field of art allowing the aesthetic experience to be considered as a key aspect of subjectivity and interactions in the world. A reflection on the roles of emotion and language as fundamental aspects of the aesthetic experience is presented. Based on this reflection, some assumptions that are at the core of culture are made and re-framed here considering the postmodern turn.

Resumo: Kierkegaard ganhou as prateleiras da literatura mundial descrevendo, com maestria reconhecida, justamente “a forma de desespero [o inconsciente] mais frequente no mundo1”. Os escritos estéticos tratam tanto de uma grande caricatura satírica e iconoclasta do homem de seu tempo - da Dinamarca e de toda a filosofia e cultura européia do século XIX - como também de um retrato fixo, segundo sua crítica, do modo de vida mais irreflexivo que sobressalta a existência. Não obstante, isso foi pouquíssimo levado em conta e prejudicou a própria leitura hermenêutica dos seus escritos estéticos. Este trabalho intenta demonstrar, assim, como das três formas de Desespero, descritas por AntiClimacus em The Sickness Unto Death, a primeira e mais comum coincide exatamente com as descrições românticas do esteta. Isto nos leva à conclusão de que os textos referentes a este modo de vida tinham uma intenção teórica e filosófica ao invés de ser, como na compreensão recorrente, simples literalismo esvaziado.  Palavras-chave: Kierkegaard. Desespero. Esteta. Literatura. Filosofia.   Abstract: Kierkegaard gained the shelves of world literature by describing, with recognized mastery, just the "most frequent form of despair in the world." The aesthetic writings deal with both a great satirical and iconoclastic caricature of the man of his time - Denmark and all European philosophy and culture of the nineteenth century - as well as a fixed portrait, according to his criticism, of the most thoughtless way of life that existence. Nevertheless, this was scarcely taken into account and prejudiced the very hermeneutic reading of his aesthetic writings. This work attempts to demonstrate, therefore, how of the three forms of Despair described by AntiClimacus in The Sickness Unto Death, the first and most common coincides exactly with the romantic descriptions of the esthete. This leads us to the conclusion that the texts referring to this way of life had a philosophical intention instead of being, as in recurrent comprehension, simple literalism emptied.  Keywords: Kierkegaard.

Deep Listening

In this article I outline the idea of an empirical/experiential reconnection to the natural non-human world through the practice of deep listening. I believe that the aesthetic experience is central to a more ecological positioning of the human being on earth and that aesthetic experience should involve a ‘rewilding of the ear’. To discuss this concept, I build an argument from Edgard Varèse’s music as ‘organised sound’ and approach it from a perceptual point of view. This leads to the discussion of other concepts, such as David Dunn’s ‘grief of incommunicability’ (Dunn 1997) and Jean-François Augoyard and Henry Torgue’s ‘sharawadgi effect’ (Bick 2008). Further to this I discuss parallels between Truax’s continuum (Speech–Music–Soundscape) and Peirce’s semiotic system. Taking points from these theories, we can discuss the possibility of the re-tuning of our ears to the wider sound palette of the world. I consider George Monbiot’s concepts of ‘rewilding’ and ‘rewilding of the human life’ (Monbiot 2014), in order to create a parallel to our relationship with the soundscape.
