Features: Russian Linguistic and Cultural Studies is a prominent field in Russian studies between China and Russia. This discipline evolved from Russian linguistic geography and holds guiding significance for the research and teaching of the Russian language, particularly in teaching Russian to non-native speakers. The authors provide a relatively detailed discussion on the subject and tasks of linguistic and cultural studies, as well as their research methods. They introduce in detail Vorobiev's linguistic and cultural system, Prokhorov's sociocultural stereotype theory, Kostomarov's linguistic information unit theory, and the research on prototype phenomena by Krasnogor and Kudkov. Finally, they also conduct an analysis and interpretation of metaphor, symbol, and cultural connotation, the linguistic world view as a research object of linguistic and cultural studies, and the cognitive semantics of spatial relations.
