COGNITIVE APPROACH IN ANALYSIS OF DISCURSIVE PRACTICES


Author:  Berzina G. P.

Abstract:  Various methods of cognitive analysis are focused on identifying the structure of a communicative situation based on the reconstruction of the mental structure of knowledge, which can be used as the basis for investigating concessional relations in language. It is demonstrated in the study that cognitive analysis based on image-schemas helps to establish the relationship of cognitive structures with linguistic forms denoting concession.
