Usage notes

This term is first introduced by Russian linguist Vorobyev V.V. and is used to denote the relationship of language and culture. The English translation of the term linguoculture is to some extent inaccurate because the Russian version of the term (original version) 'линвокультурология' consists of three words 'language', 'logos' and 'culture'. In English however, most scientists use the word linguoculture sometimes lingua-culture.
