O smerovaní etnolingvistiky a axiológie: Ján Doruľa a výskum duchovnej kultúry na Slovensku
The orientation of ethnolinguistics and axiology: Ján Doruľa and Research on Spiritual Culture in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the formation of ethnolinguistic and axiological research, the direction of which was set by Ján Doruľa. By systematically investigating the relationship between language and culture, the Jan Stanislav Institute of Slavic Studies confirms that language is an integral part of everyday culture, and at the same time, it is a tool for learning about individual and collective mentality, because its usage is deeply rooted in the consciousness of a particular community. Using culturally characteristic linguistic expressions, diverse interpretations of the image of the world are created, which are synergistically and syncretically combined in the Slavic and wider European context. The paper highlights important ethnolinguistic research programs that intersect with the domains of folkloric, spiritual, textual, and axiological themes within this Slavic academic institution. At the same time, we point to the value-based ethnolinguistic specificity of the research orientation of Slovak culture in the international context.
