The aim of the Laboratory is to create a purposeful programme of comparative psycho- and ethno-psycholinguistic research, which will make it possible to generalise the accumulated facts of linguistic and interlingual comparisons and data of associative experiments on the basis of statistical processing and deeper cultural interpretation, and thus contribute to solving interdisciplinary problems of linguistics.
