An empirical study of cognitive peculiarities of perceptual behavior in different language cultures
The aim of the auditive experiment was to reveal cognitive peculiarities of perceptual behavior depending on different linguacultures. The auditory-perceptual experiment was carried out on the material of spontaneous sounding polylogues with the participation of German and Russian native speakers. The main hypothesis of the research was that the prediction of the sense of the statement reconstructed by listeners was based both on the semantic and prosodic characteristics of the speech. The alternative decision making in favor of a particular factor was based on verbal variativeness as the ontological language quality and on perceptual-cognitive mnemonic activity of representatives of different linguacultures.
