Anglo-Saxon Mentality Viewed in the Light of the English Language

The book describes the Anglo-Saxon mentality through the prism of the English language. Despite being a serious scientific study into the key concepts of the English language that make up its specifics and reflect the special features of English national character, the book is written in a lively and interesting fashion and contains a large number of both cultural and linguistic illustrations of English life and behavior. Another merit of the book is that it provides a large amount of not only culturological and linguistic information, but also draws heavily from related fields – psychology, linguogeography, philosophy and art history.

The book can be successfully used at faculties of foreign languages, cultural studies, regional studies, philology, history, psychology, journalism, etc. It will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, university and high school teachers and a wide range of people interested in the issues of the British mentality and national character.
