1、 Introduction

This article introduces the historical research background of value as a fundamental issue of human existence, and points out its position in philosophy, Western value philosophy, and Marxist value theory. Emphasize that value is human centered and endowed by people. Contemporary Russian linguistics reflects the value relationship between humans and the world through language, with value categories becoming the research object. Since the 21st century, the Russian linguistic community has increasingly focused on the issue of language and values, with terms such as value theory frequently appearing. The article aims to analyze and sort out the theoretical basis and current development status of research on Russian language and values, clarify the core concepts and their inherent connections with language, culture, communication, and norms, systematically sort out research related to Russian language and values, summarize research characteristics and existing problems.

2、 The Theoretical Basis of Contemporary Russian Language and Value Research

Explored the theoretical foundation of contemporary Russian linguistics and value studies, emphasizing the interactive relationship between philosophy and linguistics. The theoretical origins of Russian language philosophy include Russian national religion, traditional culture, and German classical philosophy. Modern Western value philosophy, especially German neo Kantianism, provides a methodological foundation for the study of Russian language and values. Value theory, as a philosophical discipline that studies the categories, characteristics, structures, and levels of value, originated in the mid-19th century when Luo Cai first introduced the concept of "value" into philosophy. The Freudian school of Neo Kantianism, led by Wenderbahn and Lickert, created modern Western philosophy of values, using transcendentalism to construct absolute values to resolve human spiritual crises. Neo Kantianism divides the world into existence and value, believing that value is transcendent and unrelated to evaluation. The philosophy of values in Britain and America links value with evaluation, making evaluation the center of value theory research. Normative value theory and affective value theory respectively focus on the normative meaning and emotional expression of values. These values and philosophical ideas have had a profound impact on the Russian language logical analysis school. The study of contemporary Russian language and values began with the linguistic logic analysis of evaluation. Representative scholar Arutinova regards evaluation as a logical category and emphasizes that the essence of evaluation is human centeredness. Russian philosophy of language believes that value and evaluative qualities are essential characteristics of human existence, and the main task of linguistic analysis of value is to reveal the meaning of value in discourse and explore the meaning of the world to humans. The development of the study of Russian language and values is the result of the integration and reference of various schools of value theory.

3、 The core concepts of contemporary Russian language and value research

In depth exploration of value research in contemporary Russian linguistics, it is pointed out that value and evaluation are the core concepts in this field. In the 20th century, Russia paid less attention to value issues, but they began to be widely studied in multiple disciplines in the 1980s and 1990s. Value is defined as the concept that represents objects and phenomena that are meaningful to society, groups, or individuals, and has the characteristics of a subject object relationship. Kagan summarized five characteristics of value, including general understanding, basic normative roles, cultural significance expression, influencing behavioral interests and motivations, and foundational in individuals and society. In the field of linguistics, Karasik attempted for the first time to comprehensively interpret value, proposing a value worldview model that distinguishes between external value and internal value. The value in linguistics is analyzed through semantic interpretation and is regarded as a regulator of human activity, expressing the cognitive level of evaluating attitudes in the form of text or discourse. Value has a hierarchical nature, and the construction of a value system depends on the hierarchy of human needs, characterized by a value domain with a field structure. Marijanchik elaborated on the structure and elements of the value domain, arguing that the value domain is multiphase, with multiple value cores and values and anti values, and that there is unity and exclusion between values. The value domain model consists of moral, existential, social, and spiritual core values, and is a collection of social value meanings. The interpretation of values in linguistics should be combined with the levels of conceptual cognition and behavioral orientation to depict a complete picture of the world of values. Evaluation activity is the judgment of the value and meaning of things by people, which is the affirmation or negation attitude of the subject towards the object fixed in the language unit. The unity of evaluation and emotion is the act of endowing an object with positive or negative qualities. Evaluation activities are cognitive activities aimed at grasping the meaning or value of the world, revealing the meaning of the world to people. This makes it possible to measure value in language, and value is expressed through the evaluation of the language system.

4、 The Current Status of Contemporary Russian Language and Value Research

The value research in contemporary Russian linguistics is mainly divided into three directions: evaluative semantics, linguistic value theory, and value linguistics. The study of evaluation semantics originated in the late 1980s, mainly focusing on the meaning of evaluation and its language expression methods, such as Arutinova's evaluation classification and Wolf's evaluation functional semantics research. The analysis of linguistic value theory originated from the study of language and culture, focusing on the semantic reconstruction of value, such as Alerenko's repositioning of linguistic and cultural chemistry and Radbil's description of the evaluation characteristics of modern Russian vocabulary. Value linguistics was initiated by Karasik with the aim of examining value issues within the specific social context of verbal communication. For example, the publication of "Language Domain: Personality, Ideas, Discourse" marked the foundation of value linguistics.

5、 A Review of the Characteristics and Current Status of Contemporary Russian Language and Value Research

The value research in contemporary Russian linguistics has distinct characteristics such as interdisciplinary nature, abundant research results, diversified research dimensions, and the essence of cultural value measurement. The research field has expanded from evaluating semantics to cultural values, speech act norms, and social value orientations, covering discourse in multiple fields such as politics, religion, and academia, and conducting cross-cultural comparative analysis. The research methods mainly use conceptual analysis and discourse analysis, with the mainstream trend being the value linguistics research of social discourse. Despite many achievements, there are still shortcomings in this field, such as insufficient explanation of the methodological foundation of value philosophy, neglect of anti value research, unclear definition of core concepts, and lack of universally recognized theoretical system. Scholars need to continue to work hard to establish a complete theoretical system and research methods.

6、 Conclusion

Emphasis was placed on the widespread influence and importance of value research in Russian linguistics, pointing out that although the field is not yet mature, it has demonstrated enormous potential for development. Scholars are striving to develop linguistic value theory or value linguistics as an independent branch discipline. Through the study of value evaluation, new research methods and ideas have been provided for linguistics, with theoretical and practical academic value. In the context of globalization, this study helps to address issues such as personality alienation and cultural memory loss, coordinate value conflicts between ethnic groups, and enhance the social practicality of language research. It has important theoretical significance and practical value.
