Abstract: The article analyzes linguocultural image of Iran. The main goal of the study is to determine which linguistic units with national and cultural specificity have the ability to express the linguocultural image of the said country while simultaneously reflecting various fragments of the national world picture. The paper concretizes the concept of “linguocultural image” in relation to the verbalized units of those texts. The country image is presented as a certain system, which is characterized by ambivalent characteristics at the levels of value and semantics. The picture of Iran is modeled through the special view of the representative of one country and culture on another country and culture. The ethnocultural component of this image is constructed as a certain semantic field with its core and periphery. Linguistic, figurative and associative tools that mark the main components of the image are revealed. The concept of the linguocultural image of the country as a dynamic and diаchroic semantic field is clarified. The article includes the description of the core of this field: proper names, different compounds, dynamics of the entry of certain units, and the role and place of proper names in the construction of the cognitive space. At last, the paper emphasizes the historical variability of the field in its configurations and structure.
