THE INNER FORM OF THE WORD AS A REFLECTION OF THE LINGUISTIC WORLDVIEW

Petrov Sergei Valerievich

The paper focuses on the study of the inner form of the word as a tool for analyzing the linguistic worldview, within which the linguacultural concepts are viewed as a cultural and mental construct shaped by historical and cultural context. Much attention is given to the method of etymological analysis, which allows the reconstruction of the inner form of the word, through which the linguistic worldview is reflected. Examples from Russian, English, Spanish, and French illustrate differences in the perception of key notions, such as "work," revealing the ethnic specifics in conceptualizing reality. The study emphasizes the significance of the inner form of the word as a reflection of cognitive and cultural processes, linking it to the historical and ethnographic roots of a nation.
