Annotation.Розглянуто сучасні теоретичні підходи у когнітивній лінгвістиці. Засобами історичного, концептуального та порівняльного аналізу автори досліджують процес становлення та внутрішньої еволюції сучасних теоретичних підходів у когнітивній лінгвістиці. Узагальнюючи результати дослідження, автори доходять думки про те, що у процесі становлення та еволюції когнітивної лінгвістики існує тенденція до розширення досліджуваної сфери, що реалі¬зується за допомогою поступового звільнення від рудиментів модульного підходу, характерного для традиційної лінгвістики, та поступового поглиблення міждисциплінарних зв’язків з суміжними дисциплінами – природничими та соціальними науками, психологією, філософією, тощо. Keywords: Cognitive Linguistics, contemporary theoretical approaches, interdisciplinary approach, philosophy of language, semantics.
Abstract.
CONTEMPORARY THEORETICAL
APPROACHES IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS Viktor Chernyshov Department of General Linguistics
and Foreign Languages, National University “Yuri Kondratyuk
Poltava Polytechnic”, Poltava, Ukraine. Maryna Moskalenko General Linguistics and Foreign
Languages Department, National University “Yuri Kondratyuk
Poltava Polytechnic”, Poltava, Ukraine. Abstract Background:
Cognitive Linguistics is a relatively recent, but quickly expanding field of linguistic
(and interdisciplinary) studies that produces a growing body of entirely new
linguistic (and interdisciplinary) knowledge. Arrival of new researches
inevitably brings new approaches to the field. An emerging number of new
approaches, however, require their examination, generalisation, and mapping in
order to specify as much their particular place in the field as their function
and their possible future contribution to the field in a broader scope. Purpose: is
to provide a comprehensive study of theoretical approaches in contemporary
Cognitive Linguistics. Results: Historical
development and the internal evolution of Cognitive Linguistics witness a
strict tendency for contextualisation and holistic knowledge of language.
Previous tendency for narrowing and specialising linguistic knowledge that was
characteristic for formal linguistics approach gave way to a bold effort of
cognitivists for functional and (though usage-based but) universalised
linguistic knowledge. The same tendency eventually makes Cognitive Linguistics
to go beyond its own limits to undertake an interdisciplinary effort, making a
contribution to knowledge about human cognition as a whole. Discussion:
Thus, it has turned from modular approaches, characteristic for traditional linguistics,
to holistic ones; or, in other words, from more or less narrow (exclusive)
specialisation to a broader (inclusive) interdisciplinary researches in area of
Cognitive Science. Contemporary theoretical approaches in Cognitive
Linguistics are mostly considered to claim their interdisciplinarity at the
intersection of linguistics, psychology, social sciences, and philosophy. Keywords: Cognitive Linguistics,
contemporary theoretical approaches, interdisciplinary approach, philosophy of language,
semantics. Vitae. Victor
