Language is the verbal treasury of knowledge of the nation.He - a means of transmission of thought, which is formulated by using a specific structure.
modern linguistics - the science that treats language not as a separate subject, but as a member of the human cognitive activity.The study of the mind, mental states and processes involved in thinking cognitivism.This area explores the knowledge and the knowledge, perception of the world in the course of human activity.
Cognitive Linguistics is based on the methods of cognitive nature.Learning a language is then carried out with the use of humanitarian funds.In this sense, the opposite is the quantitative linguistics.Among the methods of study within the discipline applied quantitative mathematical means.
Cognitive Linguistics formed by the interaction of a number of sources.
first is a discipline dedicated to the study of the functioning of the device and of human knowledge.This science is called cognitive science (or kogitologiey).It was the result of a branch of engineering, artificial intelligence.
become a second source of cognitive psychology.It should be noted that such a notion as "psychology of linguistics," appeared in the 19th century in the works of Wundt and other Steinthal.Cognitive linguistics has taken over from psychology and cognitive conceptual model.
Language is the most important link in the process of accumulation and preservation categorized experience of man's relationship with the world.In this regard, its operation is based largely on psychological mechanisms.In addition, every experience is based on the memory and perception.Thus, the study of language is not possible without taking into account the distinctive features of perceptual processes, the study of which is carried out within psychology.
It should be noted, however, that relations between linguists and psychologists met with some obstacles.This is mainly due to the striking differences in the methodology of the two humanities disciplines (psychology and linguistics).
known that linguistics during the whole period of its development is enriched by three psychology.So, by the end of the 19th century originated mladogrammatizm.In the middle of the 20th century formed psycholinguistics, and by the end of the 20th century there was a cognitive linguistics.It is worth noting that all these disciplines have their own characteristics.
more complexity in the interaction of linguistics and psychology have arisen in connection with the popular belief that any study that addresses the mental categories, relates exclusively to the field of psychology.In other words, the interaction with other disciplines is not required.In this regard, cognitive linguistics is more concerned with workers who do not have a psychological (or psycholinguistic) past (except Slobin and Roche).But many of the ideas (for example, from Gestalt psychology) had a significant influence on the development of cognitive linguistics.
Cognitive Linguistics and formed under the influence of semantics.Some researchers consider cognitive linguistics as the "ultradeep semantics" and as a natural development of semantic ideas.However, this statement is not enough.First of all, this is due to the fact that many of the concepts that are able to display cognitive linguistics can be applied not only to the semantics, but also to other linguistic disciplines.For example, the definition of "prototype" can be used in dialectology and morphology, and phonology.
