Abstract
Background. The search for reliable means of establishing relations between sensory qualia and their conceptualization in language has given rise to several approaches, both philosophical and psychophysical. This paper gives a short account of today’s approaches to the problem and presents a frame-based approach, which may be superior to other methods.
Highlights
The task of conceptualizing sensory experience has been undertaken by many sciences including psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience
The findings reveal a frame structure of the field consisting of 11 frames, which can be grouped into two large entities: sounds proper and objects that emit sounds
The frame-based approach provides an effective means of studying the relationship between sensory qualia and their conceptualization in language
Summary
The task of conceptualizing sensory experience has been undertaken by many sciences including psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and neuroscience. In a way, this problem was posed as early as the 17th century by John Locke, who postulated that the main source of knowledge about the world for man is experience. Despite a long history of debate and research, the question of how simple ideas generate complex ideas and how they are conceptualized remains unanswered. Russian psychology sees this type of process as a transformation of natural mental functions into higher ones. This paper gives a short account of today’s approaches to the problem and presents a framebased approach, which may be superior to other methods
