Abstract
In present time Intercultural communication is one of the issues of the day. Intercultural communication is closely connected with language worldview as any language reflects the world and culture worldviews. The article is aiming at OOV (out-of-vocabulary words) that present Tatar specific culture concepts. To research such words first we have arranged them into groups and then compared them with their equivalents in English. The more words we need to explain the meaning of the concept in other language the bigger is the difference in the sphere of concepts of the peoples whose languages we learn. We use the method of a dictionary article analysis, comparative and analytical methods to research the Tatar people specific concepts. We have investigated the semantic group “Food” and have calculated the semantic distance coefficient for this group. The coefficient made up 9.93 and it is showing that the sphere of concepts of this field differs much for Tatar and English people. The research results can be used in future research of the Tatar language and culture, Intercultural Communication as well as in Theory and Practice of Machine Translation.
