- Abstract
- The author's understanding of the study of language from a cognitive point of view is offered. Although cognitive structure is not given to us through direct observation, language, being directly related to thinking, provides many objective indirect evidence of the organization of cognitive structure. The possibility of linguistic reconstruction of the cognitive structure based on the hypothesis of the cognitive motivation of the language form is considered. The technology of such reconstruction is demonstrated on the basis of specific linguistic data from different-structured languages. Two important concepts are investigated: (a) cognitive conjugation (a direct connection between cognitive units, which is closely correlated with the most various aspects of the language, characterized by increased connectivity of semantic / conceptual / cognitive elements) and (b) the linguistic phenomenon of marking, correlating with the cognitive operator of the norm / deviations from the norm.
