linguoculturology, cognitive script, verb, lexical-semantic variant, linguistic and methodological guidelines

Nowadays linguo-cultural aspect becomes one of the leading linguistic researching aspects due to the development of anthropocentrism in human sciences. This article investigates the Russian verb meaning “to be squeamish” which verbalizes concept “disgusting” from linguo-cultural point of view in comparison with Vietnamese. We focus on cognitive scripts (invariant and variant), lexical-semantic variants and highlight the linguo-cultural features of these units in Russian and Vietnamese. Research materials contain definition of these verbs in Russian, Vietnamese and Russian-Vietnamese dictionaries and contexts from website Russian National Corpus and other Internet sources. Researching the Russian verb, we highlight the subject, object, reason of squeamish behaviour; grammatical, semantic and stylistic features of this unit. Among the contexts from Internet sources, we underline contexts from Internet forums or containing opinions of Russian about squeamish behaviour. In this article, the main research methods are component analysis of meaning, distributive method, and linguo-cultural analysis method. Our analysis shows how Russian and Vietnamese understand the definition “to be squeamish”. The author provides some linguistic and methodological guidelines on working with the verb “to be squeamish” when teaching Russian a Foreign Language.
