Abstract: the article deals with the consideration of theoretically important problems such as relationships between language and culture, cultural specificity of linguistic units which create linguistic world picture. The results of the research can make a certain contribution to the problems of Cultural Linguistics, Text Linguistics, Cognitive Stylistics and etc. The investigation is in the possibility of using the given materials in delivering lectures and seminars in Cultural Linguistics, Text Linguistics, Semantics, Phraseology, in writing research works and manuals. For further investigation the followings are suggested: the study of other language means containing images; cognitive foundation of culturally marked units.
Keywords: conceptualization, world picture, semantic construction, mental entity, lingual entity, lacunas, phonosemnatic units, categorization.

Introduction. Studying the problems of language and culture correlation as well as the ways of conceptualizing reality, of creating and presenting knowledge about the world in the linguistic semantics is a part of such areas of modern linguistics as cognitive linguistics and linguistics. Such philosophers as G.A. Brutyan, R.I. Pavilyonis and linguists Yu. N. Karaulov, G.V. Kolshansky, V.I. Postovalova, G.V. Ramishvilli, B.A. Serebryannikov, V.N. Teliya investigated the conceptual and the linguistic world pictures.
The interrelation of language and intellect, their correlation with culture and reality still remains one of the difficult questions both in linguistics and philosophy.1
Methodology. The term "world picture" is one of the fundamental concepts that express the relationship between a human and the world.2
There are as many pictures of the world as there are the ways of worldview, because each person perceives the world and build its image considering his experience, his knowledge, his language. The term "world image" was introduced by Ludwig Wittgenstein in his work «Logico Philosophicus Tractatus".
E.S. Kubryakova states that the language world picture is an important part of an overall conceptual model of the world in the human mind.3
Therefore, the linguistic world picture is a mental and lingual entity, the information about reality, fixed in individual or collective consciousness and represented by linguistic means. The language determines the specificity of the language world picture and its nature. The man cognates the objective reality and records the results of cognition in the word (language). The knowledge represented in linguistic world picture, which is also called "linguistic world representation", "linguistic model of the world".4
Each nation perceives the world in its own unique projection. The specifics of this projection are embodied in the language forming a national linguistic picture of the world

transmitted from generation to generation. The man unconsciously models the world according to his national mentality, character, lifestyle, etc.
In the structure of linguistic world picture, we can outline universal and national components, which are predetermined by linguistic and extra linguistic factors. The factors determining the universal component in the linguistic world picture are:
- all people in the world belong to one civilization, to one historical time;
- people all over the world are surrounded by the same material world;
- universality of biological and social essences of the humans;
- similar laws of cognition and the same mechanism of cognitive processes as homo sapiens'.
All these factors determine the common logical- semiotic basis of all the languages, which stipulate understanding between representatives of different nations, they use universal system of signs for formation and transference of ideas and communication -a language.1
The factors, which determine the national component of the linguistic world picture, are as follows: geographical and climatic living conditions; a specific cultural-historical experience of people; type of life management (a settled way, a nomadic way); mentality, psychological type of perception the world; religion, traditions; specific language construction.
The study of the key national images will reflect the specifics of world perception. The language plays the most significant role in the reflection of these national images on different language levels (words, phraseological units, proverbs and sayings), stylistic means (metaphor, similes, symbols), literary texts.2
Conclusion. Nowadays the problem of human communication is one of the most significant subjects occupying the minds of linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, and philosophers. Since it is the most important means of communication among human beings, the relation between language, culture, and their mutual interactions is of high significance.
