Abstract
Linguistic-associative analysis serves as a vital tool in uncovering how language reflects and shapes the national cultural landscape. This study explores the mechanisms through which associative networks within languages reveal cultural values, norms, and identities unique to different nations. By analyzing associative patterns across several languages, the research highlights the interplay between language, cognition, and culture. The findings demonstrate that associative analysis offers deep insight into national worldviews, contributing to fields such as cultural linguistics, intercultural communication, and language pedagogy.
