Abstract

Nowadays, research aimed at studying the peculiarities of the relationship between language and culture is becoming very popular. The object of research of this article is allusions as units transmitting culturally significant information. Within the framework of the linguoculturological approach, the classification of allusions is given from the point of view of their functioning in speech. Traditionally, allusion is used both to characterize an object and to create a humorous effect. Knowledge and the ability to decode an allusion is a criterion for belonging to a certain group of society with a similar individually personal culture. Thus, one of the basic culturological categories «us – them» is touched upon.
