CODES OF CULTURE: SEMIOTIC AND CULTUROGICAL ASPECTS
In information and semiotics theory «code» is treated as a structure serving as a fundamental rule in the formation of messages. This is also the most adequate definition of code's function in semiotic-linguistic paradigm. The specificity of code's understanding in culturology is the following: for the semiotic system of culture such metaphor will be "translation". Function of codes in cultural system can be described as a regulation of relations within the semiotic systems of culture, service of semiosphere's «bilingual» filters.
