Theterm «concept»
Аннотация
In recent years in the humanitarian field of scientific knowledge more
and more attention has been paid to the relationship of language and culture,
language and national mentality, language and national consciousness. In
this connection, the object of study, the approaches and methods of describing
and studying language are being reinterpreted. Researches pay more and
more attention to such a category as a concept. Despite a widespread use
of this concept in the field of scientific research, the term «concept» itself
has not yet received an unambiguous interpretation. And this is due to the
fact that researchers representing various branches of scientific knowledge,
single out and consider decisive various features of this object.
At present it should be recognized that it is a concept that is the key
of cognitive linguistics. However, despite the fact that a concept can be
considered established for modern cognitive science, the content of this
concept varies significantly in the conceptions of various scientific schools
and individual scientists.
The fact is that a concept is a category of thinking that is not
observable, and this gives a lot of room for its interpretation. Today the
category of a concept appears in the studies of philosophers, logicians,
psychologists, and cultural scientists, and it bears the traces of all these
extra-linguistic interpretations.
This term, although firmly established in modern linguistics, does
not still have a single definition, although many well-known scholars
are fruitfully studying a concept: N. D. Arutyunova, A. P. Babushkin,
A. Vezhbitskaya, E. S. Kubryakova, S. E. Nikitina, V. N. Telia, R. M. Frumkin
and others.
Thus, it can be stated that the term of a concept in linguistics is both
old and new at the same time. Back in 1928 famous scientist S. A. Askoldov
published the article «Concept and Word», but until the middle of the last
century, a concept was not perceived as a term in scientific literature.
A concept is a cultural phenomenon of storing, developing and
accumulating information, perhaps its universal definition is the shortest logical characteristic: a concept is a constructive concept of storing and
accumulating information in the linguistic picture of the world.
Thus, concepts represent the world in the head of a person, forming a
conceptual system, and the signs of the human language encode the content
of this system in a word.
