Author: E.S. Kubryakova
Abstract:
The initial stages in the formation of cognitive science were so tightly connected with theoretical linguistics and so obviously marked by their interaction that all the range of problems of future cognitive linguistics cannot be described without referring to the starting guidelines and assumptions of cognitive science. Though it's possible to say that the main tasks of cognitive linguistics had been defined long before its official recognition in the late eighties, yet they underwent changes and revision in the subsequent years both under the influence of continual changes in cognitive science and thanks to the emergence of new fields of knowledge in language description, owing their origin to the cognitive approach to linguistic phenomena in different schools of cognitive linguistics itself. The present article just deals briefly with the history of the above-mentioned sciences and their interrelationship.
