Universal, Discrete and Multidimensional Phenomena in Cognitive Linguistics

Abstract

The article represents an attempt at describing the essence of cognitive
linguistics - the real face of modern linguistic science. Analysis
of the well-known theories made possible to identify some new
vectors: analysis of the semantic frame from the point of view of the
relation between the contours of the individual and collective consciousness;
analysis of the semantic frame from the point of view
of the relation between subjective and objective factors; analysis of
the concepts of validity, dependency and heredity within the frame
premises; analysis of the concepts of reliability of the structure,
adequacy and relevance of the relationships between the elements,
integrity and completeness of the structure; analysis of one of the
most complex dynamic processes – expansion of the frame system.
The process of formation of the system of semantic frames is viewed
in the article as some “ritual of interaction” implying the process
of transforming individual knowledge and experience into collective
knowledge and experience.
