Abstract: 
The article examines cognitive-discursive foundations of human activity as a complex mechanism of cognizing the world and one self. We consider a cognitive mechanism of categorization, in particular, focus attention on the features of the individual receiving, processing and transmitting information. Attention is paid to the associative basis of the transmitted information about the world. A significant role is also represented by the playing aspect of the transmission of information verbalized. The considered material also suggests the freguency of the phenomenon of linguocreativity and its high cognitive-discursive value.
