The object of the research is linguistic units, lexical, phraseological and 
paremiological units and fictional text, representing mythological and religious 
knowledge structures. 
The subject of the research – cognitive-conceptual and liguocultural 
peculiarities of linguistic units, verbalizing mythological-religious consciousness 
in the linguistic world picture. 
Methods of investigation. Alongside the traditional methods the research 
uses new cognitive methods of analysis within the framework of an 
interdisciplinary and holistic approaches:
the identification method,
the descriptive 
method, the etymological analysis, the comparative method, the method of 
oppositions
, 
the contextual analysis
,
the intertextual analysis
, 
the method of 
cognitive modeling, the cross-cultural analysis, the method of conceptual analysis,
the method of cognitive-mapping
.
MAIN CONTENT OF THE DISSERTATION 
The introduction highlights the topicality and the novelty of the research, the 
aim and tasks, the object and subject of the research, used research methods, the 
scientific and practical value of the research, review of literature on the research 
topic, information about the implementation, publications, approbation and 
structure of the dissertation research. 
The first chapter «The origins of Theolinguistics. Interrelation of language, 
culture and religion» of the dissertation deals with various approaches to the 
study of the correlation between language and religion, historical connections of 
the triad «Language – Culture – Religion», the influence of religion on culture and 
the formation of Linguistics as an independent discipline, the history of 
Theolinguistics and its main problems.
The study of language cannot be complete without taking into account 
mythological and religious factors, since these factors are considered to be one of 
the basic pillars that shape the world view and perception of different language and 
culture representatives. Religion, emerged as a result of the mythological reflection 
of reality, is one of the main forms of social consciousness. It can be evidenced by 
the existence of several religious macrocultures (Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, 
Hindu). The religious factor is the fundamental criterion for singling out these 
macrocultures and their systems of axiologically significant values. 
Religion as one of the forms of social and spiritual values is inextricably 
linked with the culture of the whole humanity and determines the peculiarities of 
thinking and world perception, outlook and mentality, social rules and lifestyle of 
different people united by one faith. Being an integral part of any culture, religion 
affects it in all its manifestations, including architecture (Pyramids, mosques, 
churches), sculpture (statues of Buddha, Olympic, Hindu and other gods), 
paintings (Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Da Vinci), music (Mozart’s Requiem, 
Schubert’s Ave Maria), science (Hermeneutics, Exegetics, Philosophy), literature: 
(Dante's «Divine Comedy», M. Bulgakov's «Master and Margarita» and etc.),

The expansion of most religions would have been impossible without 
language as the main means of communication. The problem of language and 
religion is traced back to the history of linguistic researches that were conducted 
and developed first and foremost due to religious needs: Panini’s Book, Arabic 
linguistics, the Port-Royal Grammar, classical and semiotic philology, exegetics 
and hermeneutics, lexicography and translation studies and etc. The following 
religious demands stipulated the development of research in the field of language: 
1) the need to explain the differences between the dead languages of sacred books 
and living languages; 2) the need for translation and interpretation of sacred books 
to spread religions throughout the world; 3) the use of cult languages in the 
territory where the particular religion dominated (e.g Vedic, Avestian, Arabic, 
Greek, Latin, Venyan, Old Slavic). 
So, the emergence of Theolinguistics is considered to be a logical result of 
comprehending the importance of the problem Language and Religion, which is 
currently studied from the standpoint of several approaches. In the process of 
critical analysis of different approaches, we have come to the conclusion that 
almost all researches done in the framework of Theolinguistics are aimed at 
investigating the problems of the «religious» language used in sacred texts and in 
the sphere of religious communication. In all the works, the phonetic, grammatical, 
lexical, stylistic features of the religious language are considered. In addition, these 
works are based on religious texts, mostly Christian. However, the religious world 
picture, in our deep conviction, is not limited to the sphere of religious 
communication and is widely represented both in the language system and in non-
religious texts (literary, publicistic, newspaper, institutional, etc.), furthermore, in 
everyday communication.
In this regard, there is an urgent need to single out another direction in 
Theolinguistics, namely, the direction aimed to study the reflection of 
mythological-religious consciousness in the linguistic world picture by the means 
of various linguistic units. Our research is done within the framework of this 
direction embracing a wide range of problems concerning the reflection of religion 
in the linguistic world picture. It should be stressed that the research is done on the 
basis of the achievements and methods of both traditional (Comparative 
Linguistics, Lexicology, Stylistics, Grammar, etc.) and new interdisciplinary 
linguistic disciplines (Cognitive Linguistics, Cultural Linguistics, Text linguistics, 
etc.).
