Language and culture is a theme that brings together projects for studying the Siberian regional culture and its place in the world cultural space. Linguists, historians, literary and cultural scholars conduct joint studies of verbal forms of expression of the Siberian culture: dialects, folklore, and literature – even mass-media texts.
