The dissertation accounts for the possibility of establishing city text as a unit of linguistic culture. This is exemplified by the Moscow text of the Russian linguistic culture and by the London text of the Russian linguistic culture. In the framework of this work, the integration of cognitive and semiotic approaches for constructing supertextual representations of linguistic culture categories is carried out. The Russian capital is juxtaposed with the British one, and it is concluded that, given the similarity of their semantic markers, the supertext of the capital city can be singled out as a schematic unit of a higher degree of abstraction.
