Abstract
The study provides suggestions for consistent and not contradictory presenting
in fundamental works within the discipline of one of the key concepts in
linguoculturology – symbol, as well as some ideas that could be the basis of building
solid methodology for exploring this complex phenomenon. My analysis of a
large amount of relevant sources has shown that often they refer to authors,
schools and opinions that disagree with each other or with the main stream of
understanding of the symbol within the discipline while giving no explanation of
the differences or the reasons for that. The paper touches upon some ideas of the
most relevant schools and disciplines that are in agreement with the aims of linguocultural
analysis and argues that together they can build a strong theoretical
basis for studying linguocultural symbols.
