THE DESIGN "ADJECTIVE + NOUN" AS AN OBJECT OF COGNITIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Annotation: The article is devoted to the cognitive analysis of the syntactic structure “adjective + noun”, considered as a fragment of the conceptual structure of the language. The semantic relations between the components of the structure, its role in the categorization of experience and the formation of mental representations are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the metaphorical and metonymic expansion of the values, as well as the role of an adjective in the actualization of certain signs of the object.
