Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of health-related values in American and Russian linguistic cultures. Health is conceptualized as an axiologically conditioned category embedded in language and discourse practices. Drawing on linguacultural and discourse-based approaches, the study identifies dominant values shaping perceptions of health and illness, behavioral patterns, and models of medical interaction. The findings reveal differences between individualistic and collectivist value orientations that underlie nationally specific health-related interpretative frameworks.
