Abstract

The problems of interdependence of linguocognitive and linguoculturological advanced the cognitive approach in language learning to the forefront. Considering linguistic and extralinguistic knowledge as a comprehensive whole conditioned by correlation between language, thinking, world image, national and cultural peculiarities and human world. In the 21st century each language is like a determining feature of a man, which serves the purposes of communication and is the store of information, accumulated by speech community, as well as fountain of national originality and cultural values. It is the language that is a means of knowing the language speaker, approach to his consciousness, to the discrete units–concepts, national lexemes, language units. One cognizes the linguistic world image and national picture of the world through the linguistic categories. In connection with the above-mentioned, we are interested in analyzing a linguistic category / a concept that expresses the semantic category such as wish/desire in the Tatar language. In the process of studying the linguistic category “wish” and revealing the linguistic means in Tatar, we have found that “wish” acquires a variety of means of linguistic representation – lexically full-value units, syntactic word-combinations, morphological categories and others. For that reason, a diversity of means allowed of our believing that the representation of the structure of linguistic category “wish/desire” in the Tatar language as a functional-semantic field of desire is perspective.

Highlights

  • The searches and studies of many years, being considered and synthesized in terms of new scientific trend of the 21st century, preferred together with modern tendencies and scientific contemplations, characterizing the linguistic science as multi-paradigmality, combine the actual and priority currents such as functionalism, cognitivism, synergetics and others

  • When defining a key lexeme of the kernel of conceptual field, we proceed from the assumption that these lexeme should be characterized by actuality and productivity in forming the other elements, which is typical of the linguistic category “wish/desire”

  • As consistent with lexicographic sources, one can single out the synonymic row of the verbs with the semantics of desire in the Tatar language

Summary

Introduction

The searches and studies of many years, being considered and synthesized in terms of new scientific trend of the 21st century, preferred together with modern tendencies and scientific contemplations, characterizing the linguistic science as multi-paradigmality, combine the actual and priority currents such as functionalism, cognitivism, synergetics and others. As ingle scientific space is formed, where cognitive semantics, linguistic world image, national-cultural peculiarities of languages, linguoconceptual analysis, functionalism, ethnolinguism and others are intertwined. Correlation between the concepts language – thought – culture is of special current importance exactly in 21st century, when these “three foundations” are both the perception of the people, its consciousness and preservation of language and the people, exposing a certain world image under the conditions of globalization. This unified study of language advanced an idea of studying the people’s consciousness by means of cognitive models, which, by virtue of its abstractiveness, provide categorization of language and world (Lakoff 1990: 68)
