5) an objective, complete and holistic interpretation of folk culture requires from linguistics a systematic
description of folk culture in its language, their dialectical interaction and development.
We can summarize that, linguistics, which emerged at the crossroads of linguistics and cultural
studies, is a new philological science that studies the spiritual values and experiences of a certain
national-cultural community in a certain form. He studies the connection of the studied linguistic
expressions with the synchronously moving mentality of the people and emphasizes that they ensure the
fulfillment of educational and intellectual tasks of education [Vorobyev 1999: 77].

MEANINGS OF NUMBERS IN ENGLISH CULTURE

Numbers are more than a convenient measure of the physical world. Numbers are not merely
quantitative, but also qualitative. Numbers have two distinct characteristics: they are concrete, and
associated with quantity; they are also non-concrete (abstract), implying a qualitative expression which
changes across cultural and historical contexts. In many traditions, numbers are linked with cosmic
principles that give order and structure to the universe, governing the movement of the moon and planets
as well as plant, animal, and human life. ―Numbers are seen as universal templates of creation, and
therefore as symbols of perfection and of the gods‖ [Fontana, 1994, p. 64].
Human beings have been fascinated with numerals, which are often used as symbols representing
certain ideas, and they appear in the folklore of every culture. Numbers have been imbued with complex
symbolism across different cultures since the earliest recorded events. The cultural acquisition of meaning
like this provides the potential for great variation internationally in the symbolism of numbers. This
potential of numerical symbolism is quite consistent worldwide. From mythology to astrology to religion,
numbers play a conspicuous role in our daily lives. Some non-concrete numbers can attain cross-cultural
recognition through the increasing frequency of cultural exchanges. The mystical numbers have been
considered feminine and masculine, holy and evil, auspicious and inauspicious. Number superstition is
often based on the traditional symbolism of numbers (such as sacred seven and unlucky thirteen).

In conclusion, English language is rich in number phrases. A cross-cultural comparison of the
symbolism of numbers could arouse students‘ interest, which, in turn, could arouse students‘
imaginations. J. K. Rowling addressed ―the importance of imagination‖ at the Harvard commencement:
―Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore
the fount of all invention and innovation,… it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans
whose experiences we have never shared‖ [Rowling, 2008].
