Introduction
Cognitive linguistics is a field of study that investigates the intricate
relationship between language and mental processes, focusing on how
individuals perceive, comprehend, and cognitively represent reality. According
to Z.D. Popova and I.A. Sternin, cognitive linguistics explores the mental
activities involved in understanding and conceptualizing the world, as well as
the forms and types of their mental representations. The primary focus of
cognitive linguistics lies in examining the connections between language and
fundamental cognitive processes, such as categorization and conceptualization.
This discipline also studies the outcomes of these processes mental phenomena
like concepts and categories in which language plays a crucial role. As
highlighted by E.S. Kubryakova, the subject of linguocognitive research can vary
depending on the focus of the study, whether it is on the cognitive structures
underlying certain linguistic forms or the ways language represents different
knowledge formats. The overarching goal of cognitive linguistics is to explore
the cognitive function of language the role it plays in human cognition in all its
manifestations.
