LANGUAGE REPRESENTATION OF SPACE ALONG THE FACE AXIS: CONCEPTUALIZATION AND CATEGORIZATION


Author:  Turbina Olga A.

Abstract:  The article deals with the problem of conceptualization - the result of clarification, concretization, clarification of meaning (has a network structure) - and with the problem of language categorization - the result of generalization of meanings, extreme abstraction, distraction from the motivation of phenomena / objects of the universe (has a field structure). The author analyzes these two interdependent and mutually aligned cognitive-semiotic processes from the standpoint of psychomechanics of language, using the example of the design of pronominal paradigms in the language system that encode the idea of Space.
