PROBLEMS OF MAN AND LANDSCAPE INTERACTION IN MODERN COMPARATIVE AND CONTRASTIVE RESEARCHES
The article gives a survey and comments the results of the research devoted to the study of processes and results of cognitive mapping of landscape in different linguistic cultures. The verbalization of man and landscape interaction remains under-investigated in Linguistics. The comparative and contrastive cognitive approach can become most effective in this field. The article determines and systematizes a number of issues which require further comparative and contrastive study, including the specification of ethnic peculiarities of the perception of landscape.
