Linguistic Country Studies Dictionary as a Basis for International Communication

Abstract

In the era of globalization, the concept and understanding of a Linguistic country studies dictionary, which should serve as a country's cultural passport, varies across the world. However, the core idea behind such works remains consistent: if this idea were unified, theoretically systematized, and a linguistic country studies dictionary structure were developed in a way understandable to all peoples — and if all countries adhered to that model — it would greatly assist anyone in understanding the culture and general framework of a country they are interested in. This article briefly examines how the term linguistic country studies is interpreted globally, how linguistic country studies dictionaries have been created, and what characteristics such a dictionary should ideally possess. The research employs methods of material analysis, observation, comparison, and description. The article explores the origin and development of the term linguistic country studies, presents the opinions of international scholars on the subject, and identifies the lexical components, vocabulary, structure, and practical role of a linguistic country studies dictionary. If the structure of linguistic country studies dictionaries were standardized globally, scientifically grounded, and officially adopted — and if every country developed their dictionary based on this model — it would mark a significant achievement in intercultural and ethnocultural communication in human history.
