description | The article presents the results of the analysis of words-stimuli “home”, “Motherland”, “Russia”,
“Russian”, “language”, undertaken with consideration of the data obtained in a pilot associative experiment with
Russian-speaking groups of migrants (ethnic Jewish and Germans), living in Munich (Germany). A comparative
analysis of experimental data and the data given in associative dictionaries was performed with the aim to reveal the
influence of respondents’ ethnic background on transformation of associative fields, which is connected with
changes in cultural environment. The authors draw a conclusion that in the fields with the words-stimuli “Russia”,
“Russian language” the respondents’ quantitative reactions demonstrate a low level of change, coinciding with the
ones, stipulated in the dictionaries. This type of words-stimuli is labeled as “migratory stable” and is opposed to
“migratory unstable” in the contents of associative fields with the words-stimuli “home”, “Motherland”. Some
noticeable changes and trends of considerable transformations under the influence of the foreign culture environment
are discovered. The respondents’ quantitative reactions deviate from those registered in the dictionaries. The
article gives reasons for transformations and/or preserving the contents of associative fields of the words-stimuli
under study. The ethnic characteristics of the groups under experiments are stated having little influence on
transformation of the associative fields, whereas the cultural background, the worldview was formed at, demonstrates
some considerable effect on their consciousness. |
