Abstract

The legitimacy of identifying linguomental categories as a set of concepts and their verbalizing signs (linguistic units), which are characterized by homogeneity based on the commonality of a certain feature, fixing the results of human cognitive activity, has been proven. The identification of the linguomental category of relevance is substantiated, accumulating concepts (mental signs) that are socially significant at a particular historical stage, which are represented by linguistic units that form an active vocabulary of native speakers. The definition of actualema – a mental sign that objectifies the category of relevance is formulated, its features are characterized, including chronological determinism, sociocultural marking, semantic versatility, dynamism. The composition of the actual vocabulary of the modern Russian language is considered. It includes: lexical and semantic neologisms of the last decades, external borrowings, internal borrowing, updated vocabulary, nominally reoriented vocabulary. On the example of the study of the actual concept of charity and the linguistic units verbalizing it, the effectiveness of the linguo-conceptual analysis of the actualeme is shown, which revealed an obvious connection between actual concepts, language and the realities of the outside world, which is relevant both for the scientific sphere and for educational activities.

Highlights

Cognitive techniques that allow you to streamline, systematize knowledge about the outside world are of paramount importance for different sciences – both natural and humanitarian
As one of the methods for studying the category of relevance, we propose the technology of linguo-conceptual analysis of the actualeme, which includes the following stages of work
We believe that categorical for the linguomental category of relevance is the sign of the social significance of certain mental and linguistic units, their relevance for a particular society in a certain historical period

Summary

Introduction

Cognitive techniques that allow you to streamline, systematize knowledge about the outside world are of paramount importance for different sciences – both natural and humanitarian. The term "categorization" is defined as the process of generalization and assignment of a cognizable referent (object, phenomenon of the external world) to a certain class. One of the reasons for the increased interest in categorization is the study of objects of the external world on the basis of a cognitive approach, i.e. from the standpoint of cognitivism [1,2,3,4,5]
