ASSOCIATIVE DICTIONARY AS A MODEL OF LINGUISTIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD
The article is devoted to a psycholinguistic approach to the description of a linguistic picture of the world. It considers the verbal associative network of the Russian language built on the materials of a mass associative experiment as a model of the linguistic world picture of a "naive" native speaker. The Direct associative dictionary enables observation of the systemic nature of the knowledge that is designated by the words (bodies of signs) of a given language, while a Reverse associative dictionary reveals the systemic nature of the linguistic picture of the world of the naive native speaker through building the core of the verbal associative network.
