At a time when International relations are developing and interaction is intensifying, the study of languages and cultures of different nations remains one of the urgent tasks.

At the same time, language plays an important role in the creation, development and preservation of culture (in the form of texts). Today in the world the priority role of language in knowing the world, its active influence on the real being, consciousness, is recognized as the main factor and the main source in all spiritual and cognitive activity of the person, this fact forms a solid basis of anthropocentric approach to language.

V. von Humboldt said, "The diversity of languages is not only due to differences in sounds and signs, but also because of differences in the way we see the world." V. Humboldt's idea that "language is a mirror of culture" reflects the essence of the field of linguoculturology.
