Abstract

The article deals with comparison as a cognitive mechanism that determines the formation of the semantics of the phraseological units (hereinafter - PU) of the English language that convey knowledge about human being. The authors study the PU that include zoonyms and structurally represent comparative constructions of two types: comparative constructions as ... as and comparisons with the word like . The method of cognitive modeling enabled to reveal the cognitive comparison models used in creating the considered PU. The study allowed us to identify the following cognitive models of comparison: 1) HUMAN BEING AS PHYSICAL QUALITY/PHYSIOLOGICAL STATE AS ANIMAL (either physical/physiological characteristics are compared, or the characteristic is transferred from the physical/physiological to the psychological domain); 2) HUMAN BEING AS PSYCHOLOGICAL QUALITY AS ANIMAL (helps to comprehend information about psychological qualities and human behavior through the prism of ideas about animals); 3) HUMAN BEING LIKE ANIMAL (used when comparing human and animal features); 4) HUMAN BEING ACT LIKE ANIMAL (used when comparing the actions of people and animals). In conclusion the authors state the role of cognitive comparison models in forming the semantics of the PU in the English language, which is definitely important: they help to organize knowledge from different domains for their subsequent comparison.

具有拟人词成分的英语短语单元语义的认知比较模型

比较是一种认知机制，它决定了英语语言中表达人类知识的词汇单位(以下简称PU)的语义形成。作者研究了包括人畜异义词和结构上代表比较结构的两种类型的比较结构:比较结构和比较结构。As和like的比较。认知建模的方法能够揭示在创建所考虑的PU时使用的认知比较模型。通过本研究，我们确定了以下认知比较模型:1)人类作为身体素质/生理状态作为动物(将身体/生理特征进行比较，或将特征从身体/生理领域转移到心理领域);2)人类作为动物的心理素质(通过动物观念的棱镜，帮助理解心理素质和人类行为的信息);3) HUMAN LIKE ANIMAL(用于比较人和动物的特征);4) HUMAN BEING ACT LIKE ANIMAL(用于比较人和动物的行为)。最后，作者陈述了认知比较模型在形成英语语言的语义中的作用，这一点非常重要:它们有助于组织来自不同领域的知识，以便进行后续的比较。
