METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF COGNITIVE RESEARCH OF LEXICAL CATEGORIZATION

Affiliation:  Ural State Pedagogical University

Abstract:  In the framework of discussing the cognitive principles of categorization (L. Wittgenstein,
E. Rosch, G. Lakoff, N. Boldyrev, E. Kubryakova, etc.) the article puts forward and lays the theoretical foundations for a new variant of systematization of methodological principles of cognitive research of lexical categorization. The author singles out the following principles of lexical categorization as the basic ones: prototypicality, “family resemblance”, continual-cognitive relativity, contextual-cognitive determinacy, cross-relation of categorial structures, variability of categorial structures in personal, social and national lingual mentality, correlation of the ontological and linguo-mental nature of a category, static or dynamic character of categorial structures, hierarchy and the principle of gradience. These principles make it possible to bring out the typical features of structural organization of lexical categories, characterize their linguo-cultural peculiarities and single out various types of categories and different criteria for the inclusion of a certain unit into the category.

Keywords:  principles of categorization, lexical categorization, lingual categories, linguo-cognitive domains “Nature”, “Man” and “Artifacts”
