The article deals with the interlanguage nonequivalence of polysemants in the context of an unresolved issue in the formation of co-knowledge within a language community. The author justifies the necessity of rejecting the postulate of “semantic transfers” as a generative mechanism of semantics and searching for an alternate approach that allows us to see the difference between the most meaningful side of language units and the act of awareness of this content. Based on a number of concepts directly related to human cognition (the evolutionary concept of anthropogenesis, the theory of attention scheme, enactivism, the concept of “living knowledge” and model-dependent realism), this paper hypothesizes that co-knowledge about the applicability of polysemants to various situations depends on internal models created by the brain. A specific instance of the model is a complex of certain marks (the mode of defeated signals) and their interaction. The hypothesis is aimed at explaining the “unconscious mastery” of native polysemants, the “congruence” of this process within the language community and its “variability” for native speakers of different languages. The main research methods are comparative analysis and deduction. Using the example of two polysemants from Chinese and Russian, the author proves that co-knowledge is formed because when activating the same marks, people will recognize the applicability of the model to similar situations and be aware of similar semantics at the same time. The “variability” of co-knowledge is inevitable, because the model works in an ego-involved mode: the role that a person can perform during their interaction with the environment directly affects the creation of models and the act of awareness. The originality of the semantics of the two polysemants is predetermined by the fact that in the case of the Chinese polysemant, the cognitive strategy of the OBSERVER prevails, and in the case of the Russian polysemant - the strategy of the ACTOR prevails. The new approach lays the groundwork for the strategy of comparing polysemants to analyze implicit language ability as the most important component of human cognition.

The article is concerned with the cognitive analysis of conventional and literary metaphors, their similar and distinctive features, linguistic and extralinguistic factors determining the specificity of each type. The new findings of the research are: 1. Both types of metaphors have similar cognitive mechanisms including the processes of a) structuring one conceptual domain within the other; b) conceptual integration of the two interconnected conceptual domains; c) modelling the cognitive structure of metaphor on the basis of image representations and propositional schemas; d) activation of associative mechanism of metaphor; e) emerging new conceptual elements; 2. Literary metaphor is different from conventional one in many respects a) it shares many features of the literary discourse such as anthropocentrism, subjectivity, imagery, emotiveness, implicitness, associativity, both textual and non-textual, conceptuality, interpretedness; b) it is consistent with the author’s aesthetic and communicative intentions; c) it is dependent on all types of contexts (linguistic, pragmatic, cognitive, sociocultural); d) represents macro- and megaconcepts of the literary text; f) becomes a significant component of the author’s individual world view; g) assumes the function of conceptual dominant in the literary discourse; i) forms an extensive network of textual and non-textual associations.

The article presents the results of the study of the discussion snippets in the form of question-answering structures using the “argumentative discussion” construct; the study was based on the scripts of video panel discussions on the YouTube platform. Involving the methodology of the pragma-dialectical theory of argumentation in part of the analytical reconstruction of argumentative discourse, the author does not take as a basis the concept of persuading a rational addressee, which is common in argumentative theory, but takes the idea of verifying the point of view of cognitive agents of communication. It allows to consider the dialogic structure as a multi-subject procedure for checking the objectivity of knowledge of the participants in the discussion. The purpose of the article is to explore the question utterance in the position of the preform in the question-answering unity. The article contains scientific data from the field of erothetic logic, which shows that the question can be interpreted as a fragment of reasoning. For the reconstruction of cue-question, the concept of symptosymmetric proportionality of the components of dialogical unities is used. We analyzed all speech units in dialogic syntagmas in the form of Argumentative Step. Such an analysis showed that the basis of the question contains elements that perform argumentative functions. The focal meaning of these elements is found in response cues. As the result, the symptosymmetric models Preform-thesis ↔ refutation by facts, Preform-thesis ↔ antithesis, Preform-clarification ↔ correction were obtained. The interim result of the study is that the cue-question in the position of the preform is also a marker of a violation of the logical-categorical norms of reasoning and ad hoc errors.

The article outlines current features of generation of texts of various types containing various forms of social criticism. Attention is drawn to the active and increasingly intensive use of secondary means by communicants who aim at solving the task of nomination. The heterogeneous secondary nominative means that the authors of texts need are listed and briefly characterized. The reasons and conditions that encourage the producer to give preference to secondary nominative means for solving the mentioned communicative and cognitive task are revealed. A detailed analysis of one of the most popular techniques of generating texts aimed at social criticism is given on the example of culturally significant phenomena as secondary semiotic products. The nominative potential of culturally significant phenomena as means of activating the content of stereotypes of consciousness is revealed. The article also outlines cognitive grounds that allow the authors to influence the recipients of texts as efficiently, predictably and economically as possible with the help of culturally significant phenomena. The article describes the interdependence of cognitive, nominative and discursive strategies which require reference to culturally significant phenomena whose advantage as a means of nomination that ensure the success of solving the communicative task of social criticism in various discursive conditions we highlighted. We also described the reasons for functioning of nominative means in various communicative situations and the dominance of these means in the complex of isofunctional ones, and characterized the conditions that favour the activation of the knowledge of culturally significant phenomena in the minds of recipients of texts. The article offers an explanation of the current trend in the use of language tools, according to which the speaker prefers secondary nominative means to primary ones.

The article analyzes the fixed phrase schemes in the cognitive aspect as the «results» of grammaticalization process. It has been established that the phraseologization phenomenon is directly associated with grammaticalization. The fixed phrase schemes grammaticalization on the level of signifier is the secondary use of a free syntactic structure; and on the level of signified it is the utmost generalization of the productive base semantics to the level of a categorical seme: «statement», «negation», «estimation», etc. The result of the fixed phrase schemes grammaticalization is the phraseological meaning, which is stable, invariable, unmotivated by the grammatical meaning of the syntactic construction, by which it is generally represented, and idiomatic. The phraseological meaning is grammatical: it does not nominate the speech subject but points out the means of its interpretation. The phraseological meaning serves as a typical proposition component, functioning as a predicate. The fixed phrase scheme in the entirety of plain of expression and plain of content is the grammatical cliché; we can insert diverse content here and get intrinsic predetermined result; the new grammatical indicator, the means of typical propositions representation; the secondary conceptualization and categorization sign; the grammaticalization result. A set of typical propositions realized by the fixed phrase schemes and their frequency have been identified. It was also stated that the fixed phrase schemes usually implement several typical propositions - the main and the optional ones, which allow them to express «strong» emotional-volitional communicative reactions. They do not only name typical situation but also express emotional attitude, replacing two syntactic constructions at once.

The article, devoted to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg State University, examines the formation and functioning of the anthropocentric linguistic paradigm on the example of the development of the philological school of English Studies at the University. The comprehensive linguocognitive research, which is currently being successfully conducted within the School of English Studies by scholars from the Department of English Philology and Language and Culture Studies and the Department of English Philology and Translation, is the result of the gradual development of a linguistic paradigm whose origins were laid down by lecturers at the beginning of the last century. We focused in particular on preserving the origins and century-old traditions of the School of Anglistics in modern linguocognitive and cultural studies, as well as on the University’s philologists unequivocal contribution to investigating the singularity of English-language space at the level of its semantic, linguo-cultural and pragmacognitive characteristics.

The study of legal consciousness from the position of cognitive approach is due to the idea of the existence of mental constructs, the role of which is to maintain a holistic and meaningful picture of the world. The study of the phenomenon of law as applied to human consciousness allows us to talk about LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS - gestalt reflection of legal norms in the mind of an individual, a form of social consciousness. In accordance with the above mentioned argument the aim of the research is to cognitively analyze linguistic representations of the concept to study the interaction of scientific and ordinary knowledge. The object of the research is the interaction of ordinary and scientific knowledge in the gestalt structure. During the study, using the method of cognitive modeling, we identified two aspects (localization of legal consciousness, detailing of legal consciousness). The analysis of two aspects confirms the fact that this knowledge is assimilated and formed with the participation of stable cognitive structures, which have arisen on the basis of human bodily experience. It showed the representation of the phenomenon with the help of conceptual metaphors. Theoretical scientific knowledge is a part of the considered gestalt, it can be unsystematic and fragmentary, as it does not determine the integrity of the gestalt.

The study explores the distribution of deictic words and gestures in multimodal explanatory discourse. To proceed, we compile the corpus of speech and gesture in which the experiment participants are explaining the difference between close synonyms. The study develops the method of modelling deixis as a discourse frame of reference which allows to identify objects and situations via pointing at them. We show that two frames of reference - egocentric and allocentric - help explore the discourse semantics of deictic words and gestures on the same grounds using the coordinates of two frames which are the distance from the speaker (closer to the speaker / farther from the speaker) and the type of communicative situation in discourse (the internal communicative situation / the external communicative situation). The results reveal that the differences between the two frames of reference may not always be explicit in the semantics of deictic words, still they may appear in the use of gesture types.

The newest media feel the constant need both to attract the attention of the audience and to form a stable circle of subscribers. To achieve this goal, they attempt to appeal to the basic values of users. One of these forms of work is the archetypization of plots and characters of media works. The paper is based on the method of content analysis. We also used comparative-typological and historical-functional methods; an analysis of textual means of archetyping the model of the world in the latest media is carried out, both at the level of printed works and at the level of modern audiovisual formats. The research material is the most popular print online media and video blogs of the Russian-speaking sector of the Internet in 2021 and in particular - the blog of the stylist Alexander Rogov. In the course of the study, we explored the archetypal images and plots most often broadcast by them: transformation, the struggle with the titan, adventure, systematization of philosophical categories, chicanery, etc. Examples of the most particular directions in the modification of archetypal images and plots are given. The conclusion is made about the multiplot, often manifested in network content. The results of the study capture the dominant characteristics of modern mass communication and can be extrapolated to other textual realities that characterize the socio-cultural background of modern society.

We also used comparative-typological and historical-functional methods; an analysis of textual means of archetyping the model of the world in the latest media is carried out, both at the level of printed works and at the level of modern audiovisual formats. The research material is the most popular print online media and video blogs of the Russian-speaking sector of the Internet in 2021 and in particular - the blog of the stylist Alexander Rogov. In the course of the study, we explored the archetypal images and plots most often broadcast by them: transformation, the struggle with the titan, adventure, systematization of philosophical categories, chicanery, etc. Examples of the most particular directions in the modification of archetypal images and plots are given. The conclusion is made about the multiplot, often manifested in network content. The results of the study capture the dominant characteristics of modern mass communication and can be extrapolated to other textual realities that characterize the socio-cultural background of modern society.","PeriodicalId":53482,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Kognitivnoy Lingvistiki","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67637112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study explores gaze behavior in novel metaphor recognition in L1 and L2 as affected by the syntactic position of a metaphor; therefore, we test the contrastive role of syntactic foregrounding in information processing. Following cognitive linguistic theories of foregrounding [Talmy 2000; Iriskhanova 2014], we expect its effects on both gaze behavior and metaphor recognition in subject and predicate positions. Following the theories exploring the role of cognitive mechanisms of analogical reasoning and associative fluency [Gentner & Bowdler 2008; Holyoak & Stamenković 2020] in L1 and L2 [Littlemore et al. 2011, Heredia and Cieślicka 2016], we expect differences in L1 and L2 participants in reading and recognition of novel metaphors. The results show that novel metaphor recognition in less foregrounded syntactic position is better in both L1 and L2, which might be explained by the fact that in syntactically foregrounded positions the participants were more likely to search for the source of metaphor, rather than for its target. Additionally, we revealed significant differences in L1 and L2 gaze performance in mean fixation duration, which is higher in syntactically foregrounded position for L2, which might be explained by higher effects of syntactic foregrounding in L2.
本研究探讨了注视行为在第一语言和第二语言中新隐喻识别中的作用，它受隐喻句法位置的影响;因此，我们测试了句法前景在信息加工中的对比作用。认知语言学前景理论[Talmy 2000;Iriskhanova 2014]，我们期望它对注视行为和主谓位置隐喻识别的影响。遵循理论探索类比推理和联想流畅的认知机制的作用[genner & Bowdler 2008;Holyoak & stamenkovic 2020]在母语和第二语言中[Littlemore et al. 2011, Heredia and Cieślicka 2016]，我们预计母语和第二语言参与者在阅读和识别新隐喻方面存在差异。结果表明，在不太突出的句法位置上，第一语言和第二语言的新隐喻识别效果都较好，这可能是由于在句法突出的位置上，参与者更倾向于寻找隐喻的来源，而不是隐喻的目标。此外，我们发现L2和L1注视表现在平均注视时间上存在显著差异，其中L2注视在句法前景位置上的注视表现更高，这可能与L2注视在句法前景位置上的效果更高有关。
