Abstract
The article focuses on the studies of the language consciousness on the basis of free associative experiments. The associative method of linguistic research aims to reveal the associative range of the average respondent; to construct and analyze the associative relationships between words, to search for consistent patterns; to form forward and reverse associative dictionary. The associative experiment allows us to determine the consistency of content of the image of the consciousness behind the word, in different cultures, and consistency of all language awareness of different cultures, conveying thereby the uniqueness and originality of the image of the world by every culture. Consequently, language awareness can serve as a means of understanding the foreign culture in its substantial and mental forms and means of knowledge of their culture. Experimental study of ethnospecifi c stereotypes of the Kalmyk and the Russian language consciousness is based on the free associative experiment, which involves the presentation of words-stimulus, defined intuitively by native speakers as typical stereotypical characteristics, values, priorities.
