“…Many books and articles have been published on his book called "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," one of the most cited academic books of all time. The Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy sees that Kuhn's contribution to the philosophy of science marked a break with several essential positivist doctrines and inaugurated a new style of philosophy of science that brought it closer to the history of science (Politi, 2021).…”

After the Cold War, the Clash of Civilizations thesis defended conflict between the West and Muslims. Samuel Huntington was instrumental in legitimizing and supporting the conflict between Islam and the West. According to this theory, conflicts will arise from cultural and religious reasons, not between ideologies and states. They will be the scene of clashes, especially between Western and Islamic civilizations. Although nation-states continue to be the main actors in the global system, their traditional sovereignty structures will erode, continuing their essential functions under the umbrella of civilization. While this theory is being discussed, statistics reveal that social, cultural, economic discrimination and intolerance, called Islamophobia, is being developed against Muslims, whose members are constantly increasing in western countries after the Cold War. This article examines the relationship between Islamophobia, rising in Europe, and the Clash of Civilizations thesis, with a multidisciplinary approach of theology, history, economics, and politics of assertions done in the Risale-i Nur Collection writings by Said Nursi.

“…Other scholars argue that people communicate in order to have the desired identity in the communication situation in which they manifest themselves (Dingemanse, Perlman & Perniss, 2020). Referring to the research and theorisation of communication in the diachronic plane, Politi (2020) in his study identifies seven traditions: The rhetorical tradition, which theorises communication as a practical art of discourse, the semiotic tradition, which views communication as intersubjective mediation through signs, the phenomenological tradition, for which theorising communication is theorising the experience of difference and dialogue, the cybernetic tradition, in which communication is theorized as an information process, the sociopsychological or social psychology tradition that theorises communication as a process of self-expression, interaction, and influence, the sociological or social psychology tradition, which theorises communication as a process of Orujov (2021) argues that culture and communication form a strange pair. Neither can be explained without the other.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the cultural dimension of language that turns into an issue of identity. The paper analyses the relationship between communication/language and culture. The deductive method, analysis, synthesis, and modelling, combined with a literature search in several databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus search and Web of Science, made possible the revelation of the issue of language as a means of communication, social construction, and the formation of our identity and common culture. The presented research was developed by describing various approaches and models of the concept of culture that have influenced and continue to influence intercultural communication, and by describing linguistic theories related to the relationship between language and culture. The results of the work have shown the connections between language, discourse, individual, and culture. The concept of individual identity has been established. The phenomenon of the social and/or cultural identity of a group and their differences was revealed. In the article a philosophical judgment about intercultural dialog was conducted. In addition, the question of what the identity and behaviour of individuals in their collective life was revealed. The revelation of these issues has shown that dealing with the cultural nature of language is not an easy task, especially in terms of the hypothesis that language is a distinctive feature of individuals. The results of the work have shown that it is a discourse in the intercultural dialogue that represents ways of speaking that are specific to both individuals and shared cultures. In the era of interference, intercultural communication is opportune and appropriate. The importance of the results lies in the development of four competencies in the context of “plurality of languages” that show how cultural identity traits can enable the intercultural dialogue.

“…As part of this study in the perspective of cognitive and linguistic and cultural foundations of the lexicon of the modern Azerbaijani language, it should be noted that cognitive linguistics introduces the question of the relationship between language and thinking. Thus, thought has a non-verbal character, while the language is not a form of thought existence, but a manifestation of the human thinking process, which is an operational process through concepts (Politi, 2020). This problematic issue was first addressed by neurophysiologists, doctors, psychologists, and later by psycholinguists and others.…”

The field of philosophy of language is full of controversy. It is worth noting that the philosophy of language should not be confused with the philosophy of linguistics, as it is nothing more than its epistemology. The purpose of this paper is to provide a more general view of the language and culture of Azerbaijan with the use of the epistemological approach. As a tool for philosophical reflection methods including critical analysis of language and new trends in linguistics were used. In addition, such scientific methods as: deductive method, analysis, synthesis, modelling were involved. The literature search was conducted in several databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus search, and Web of Science. The specific used keywords were philosophy of language, linguistic culture, concept, cognitive linguistics, vocabulary, and definitions. The timeframe of the articles went beyond 2018-2021 and include only the latest data. The results of the work showed that the structure of the Azerbaijani language, the worldview imposed by the culture, the properties of the language, especially its extraordinary flexibility, cannot remain outside of philosophical argumentation. The vocabulary of the Azerbaijani language is traditionally studied within the framework of a text, as well as in the process of learning language and speech rules. At the stage of higher education, students are provided with detailed information about lexical-grammatical, structural-semantic, and, less often, etymological features of the vocabulary. At the same time, students of higher education cover this process in a somewhat broader direction. A new powerful branch of lexicology that has entered the scientific world of Azerbaijani linguistics is cognitive lexicology. The article describes new linguistic possibilities of studying the vocabulary of the modern Azerbaijani language in the semantic-cognitive and linguistic-cultural aspects, a number of unique national and cultural features characteristic of words and phrases of the conceptual space, describes the philosophical regularities of verbalisation, how many associative images are modelled in Azerbaijanis worldview. The conclusions determine that the concept of culture is expressed in words, fragments that reflect the linguistic landscape of the world. In research, the words and phrases are studied as a cognitive procedure.
