Abstract
The article considers the basics of the cognitive approach to the analysis of language units. The purposeof the article is to establish the basic principles of cognitive morphology, which are based on the principles ofcognitive grammar and which can be used for the analysis of the morphological structure of any word. Theyare the following: morphological units should be investigated in the light of human experience, cognitiveprocesses of man and his/her vision; morphological units have prototype structures; the morphological structureof a word from a certain language depends on the peculiarities of this language; grammatical rules dependpartially on semantic properties of lexical units; semantic structures should be characterized with the referenceto the ways of interiorisation of reality; conventional links among morphological structures are identifiedthrough metaphoric and metonymic processes; cognitive morphology is of imaginary character. It is proposedto use the technique of frame patterning to analyze the morphological structure of the word. The choice of themorphological structure of a word depends on the type of a frame pattern. This study will be useful for thosewho are in line with a new approach to the analysis of language units - cognitive morphology.
