Cognitive Approach to Paremiological Units
Abstract
In the last decade, the cognitive approach to the analysis of paremiological units has found both theoretical justification in the works of local and foreign scientists and its practical application in the scientific articles and dissertations of local linguists. When discussing the cognitive characteristics of paremiological units, the term concept should be mentioned first. Paremiological units reflect various concepts. Each concept collects a certain number of paremiological units around itself, which have also been examined in the article. The most common components of paremias as components of models - both significant and non-nominal, as well as metalinguistic formulas - are substitutes expressing action, result, and person. In this form, the model partially reflects what is repeated in the structure and semantics of proverbs on the one hand and its lexical content and generalised meaning on the other hand.
Forming symbolic meaning in paremiological units can be considered an inferencing process. On its basis, knowledge based on cognitive structures is gathered. Paremiological units are often conceptualised as follows. The author considers the lexemes that interest him in one way or another as the main components of paremiological units. Then, paremiological units are grouped according to one or another conceptual feature. As a result, it is possible to talk about conceptualising paremiological units, the collection of such expressions around certain concepts.
The article provides brief information about the cognitive characteristics of paremiological units to determine the most complete scheme of analysis of paremias in the cognitive aspect.Keywords
