It is known that for many, especially last three centuries people of the whole world have been interested in the nature of their language, and the languages of their neighbors, their role in the study and cognition of the objects of the world, also the issues related to its relationship with consciousness and thinking. Within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm formed and developed at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries, the above mentioned issues were interpreted in a completely new way, and linguists of Europe and Asia began to discuss more and more new issues such as the relationship between language, mind and man. Also, the human factor in language, the linguistic image of the world, the semantic and pragmatic functions of language and the role of the vocabulary in creating a linguistic image of the surrounding world. At the same time, the concept of "discourse," one of the most actively, frequently used terms and concepts that caused great controversy, debate, and pluralism in different trends and schools of linguistics, was introduced. The linguistic, national or cultural picture of the world is a term in linguistics that embodies such terms as "national identity of knowing the world" and "national image of the world.", etc.
