Abstract: The article discusses the problem of the impact of sociocultural parameters on the processes of world interpretation and knowledge representation in discourse. The rationale of this work is reinforced by the idea that cognition is culture-specific. The solution to the problem lies in the study of sociocultural knowledge of language speakers within a broad field of their sociocultural experience that affects linguistic choices and discourse construction. The argument we present in the paper is that individual knowledge obtained as a result of personal cognitive devel-opment and experience within particular sociocultures (family, church, school) influences discourses. Sociocultural knowledge acquisition is achieved in the process of various activities language speakers perform in particular societies and cultures. Sociocultural knowledge outlines the so-called “conceptual-and-thematic domains” that, as well as language worldview, activate interpretation and shape sociocultural discourse specificity. We argue that discourse construction is influenced by universal cognitive structures – metaconcepts ROLE, STEREOTYPE, LANGUAGE PERFORMANCE, VALUE, NORM. The results are important insights into Social Cognitive Linguistics as a new scientific paradigm studying the interaction of society, culture, thought, language, and human being.
Keywords: sociocultural discourse specificity, interpretation, sociocultural knowledge, conceptual-and-thematic domains, metaconcepts
