Abstract

Abstract The peculiarities of speech etiquette in each language are determined by historical, cultural, social, cognitive, and religious factors. The study of greeting and farewell speech formulas in Turkish and Arabic is relevant for identifying key linguacultural meanings and concepts using conceptual modeling. The purpose is to analyze the linguistic and cultural conditioning of etiquette formulas in these languages. Linguacultural analysis of linguistic facts was used, along with elements of conceptual, communicative, comparative, and semantic analysis. The results show that the conceptual structure of etiquette formulas consists of functional-semantic fields like temporality, religiosity, marking conversation beginnings/endings. In Turkish, temporal concepts like “day” and “morning” are most frequent, while in Arabic religious concepts like “Allah” and “peace” prevail. Similarities include polite treatment of interlocutors, adherence to religious traditions, and hospitality. Differences lie in the degree of metaphoricality, imagery, and extended responses. The conclusions form ideas about the interrelations between core and peripheral linguacultural concepts, linguistic diversity, and invariance of etiquette formulas, their cognitive representation and role in shaping linguistic personality. The study contributes to understanding national mentality through the analysis of speech formulas.

土耳其语和阿拉伯语在告别和问候中的语言和文化特点

语言礼仪的独特性是由历史、文化、社会、认知和宗教等因素决定的。研究土耳其语和阿拉伯语的问候语和告别语公式对于使用概念建模识别关键的语言文化意义和概念具有重要意义。目的是分析这些语言中礼仪公式的语言和文化条件。使用了对语言事实的语言文化分析，以及概念分析、交际分析、比较分析和语义分析等要素。结果表明，礼仪公式的概念结构由时间性、宗教性、会话开始/结束标记等功能语义场构成。在土耳其语中，时间概念，如“天”和“早晨”是最常见的，而在阿拉伯语中，宗教概念，如“安拉”和“和平”盛行。相似之处包括对对话者的礼貌对待，对宗教传统的坚持以及热情好客。不同之处在于隐喻、意象和延伸反应的程度。这些结论形成了核心和外围语言文化概念之间的相互关系、语言多样性和礼仪公式的不变性、它们的认知表征和在塑造语言个性方面的作用。本研究通过对言语公式的分析，有助于理解民族心理。
