This is the area that pushes the narrow scientific interests of linguistics, gives scope for the study of broad humanitarian problems: the relationship between language and culture, language and national consciousness. This is the knowledge of various unique linguistic cultures, national peculiarities of people's perception of the world and the definition of their place in it. Thanks to this, linguistics (and comparative linguistics in particular) attracts the attention of ethnologists, cultural scientists, psychologists, historians and representatives of many other sciences.
