    LANGUAGE AS A TOOL FOR CREATING REALITY – LINGUOCULTURAL AND NEUROLINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE PROBLEM
    (Plovdiv University Press, 2026-05-22) Damyanova, Gabriela; Дамянова, Габриела
    The current paper examines human language through the lens of two interdisciplinary science fields: linguoculturology and neurolinguistics. Firstly, we looked into the various ways the language is embedded in the culture, traditions, and beliefs of different people – Japanese, Indians, Native Americans, and Bulgarians – who view language as a tool for creating reality, and as possessing, the power to transform the world. On the other hand, the nature and influence of language were also examined within the field of neuroscience. Through examples from numerous experiments and studies, it became evident that speaking and hearing certain words can affect the structure of the human brain, as well as influence behavior, emotions, and the overall quality of human life.

    PSYCHOLINGUISTIC AND INTERCULTURAL ASPECTS OF THE CONCEPT OF TIME IN SOME LANGUAGES
    (Plovdiv University Press, 2025-05-16) Damyanova, Gabriela; Дамянова, Габриела
    The current study aims to examine the concept of time in the context of psycholinguistics. For the purposes of this paper, it is important to present the diverse ways in which time exists in different languages across the world. The paper explores various conceptual metaphors for time perception and the mechanisms that children use to understand time. Additionally, it examines the Linguistic relativity hypothesis, also reffered to as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. In the conclusion of this study, the results of an experiment conducted to assess children’s perception of time are presented.
