Concept, frame, script, motif, fairy tale, carcass, mental lexicon, stereotypical situation, reframing, folk concept, folk
frame, cognition, ancient archetype.
INTRODUCTION
It is known that linguistics studies all the changes that
occur in language in detail. Any science, in turn, arises
and develops out of necessity. Society always pays
special attention to the development of science and
the study of its problems so as to ensure its own
progress.
“Since the human mind develops, his worldview,
thoughts, perspectives will improve and broaden. As
every science, linguistics is evolving day by day, leading
to the emergence of various new trends, directions,
new scientific and theoretical views. As a result, new
types of linguistics have emerged: psycholinguistics,
sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, mentalinguistics,
neurolinguistics,
cognitive
linguistics,
pragmalinguistics, gender linguistics, text linguistics,
interlinguistics (translation from one language to
another), synchronic and diachronic linguistics, macro
and micro linguistics, corpus-
computer linguistics”
and
so on.
As being extremely complex, it is rather difficult to
imagine all its aspects of human language entirely and
immediately. Nevertheless, centuries of experience in

the history of world linguistics show that
representatives of different currents have devoted
their entire lives to clearly defining the object of study
and its essence, considering it the most optimal way to
study language.
Cognitive linguistics has been established as a science
arisen at the intersection of cognitology (the science of
knowledge). It mainly deals with the cognitive aspect
of the language. It is well known that cognition is the
process of the emergence and enrichment of human
knowledge during the comprehension of the world,
while the change of knowledge is directly or indirectly
connected with language. A person’s ability to know is
in sync with his linguistic ability. Since language is the
most significant communication process, we refer to it
directly when knowing the world.
V. Demyankov says: “The term "concept" is the most
actively used in cognitive linguistics and has a variety of
definitions. Its interpretations of cognitive linguistics,
linguoculturology, and literature differ from one
another.
U.K.Yusupov describes the concept as follows: "A
concept is a set of knowledge in our minds about
something or an event in the external or internal world,
images about it and a positive, negative or neutral
attitude towards it" .
According to Marvin Minsky, an American scientist
who has studied the problems of artificial intelligence
and ways to demonstrate knowledge on a computer,
"Frame" is derived from the English word meaning
"carcass" or "frame". Also, Ch. Fillmore, a scientist
who was the first to introduce the term frame to
linguistics to solve problems of artificial thinking, says
that "frame" is a cognitive structure that models the
experiment and is formed by linguistic units: "Frame is
the basis of the concept and several frames are
accounted as natural. As being cognitive structures,
they enable us to understand concepts.
”
R. Hudson discusses the similarities between linguistic
and non-linguistic cognitive structures and concludes:
"A frame can be used to analyze the expression of
languages in a content plan." Yu.Charnak develops the
concept of frames and calls them as: "Frames are
informative scenarios" . According to T.A. van Dyke,
“Frames are conceptual frames” or “scenarios”. They
shape our direction in a clear way and allow other
people to understand.
”
It is notable that Sh. Safarov's theoretical views on the
term "frame" in Uzbek linguistics are of particular
importance. According to him, “The acquis
ition of any
information by a person takes place directly within the
scope of previous experience and knowledge stored in
his memory. A certain amount of knowledge is stored
in the memory of each person, and it is the reserve that
acts as a means of receiving and perceiving
information. In other words, there is a "set of frames"
in the mind of each person, which ensures that
knowledge and cognitive activity is carried out on the
basis of certain "templates".
We can say that the introduction of a new term into
linguistics not only opens up new possibilities, but also
creates peculiar difficulties. First of all, in our point of
view, the term seems to refer to the concept of
‘ambiguous’. For example, many studies of linguists
have been devoted to conceptual and frame analysis
based on linguistic phenomena. Typically, the
beginning of the analysis is not based on the choice of
research method, but on the meaning of the terms of
‘concept’ and ‘frame’. In this case, the application of
this linguistic phenomenon may, of course, differ from
one another.
A concept is a correlation between both words and
concepts, the emergence and formation of the
concept of perceived objects and phenomena, which
provides a national-cultural dialogue in speech and it
has an international character. Moreover, It is very
abstract that it can enter the realm of thinking, the

mental lexicon of the human mind. This term is a broad
category that represents a conceptual system and
language activity.
Underlying the theory of frames is a hypothesis that
the knowledge of the universe consists of cellular
structures which means that frames consist of a set of
stereotypical situations defined by specific scenarios.
Frames represent data under explicit and implicit
assumptions. Frame theory aims to explain human
perception of existence and thinking at a high speed
that involves the philosophers and linguists.
There is a sufficiently strong association between the
conсept and the frame, firstly, both notions belong to
the level of expression that conveys the knowledge
base in the human mind, and secondly, their
ontological generality as mental structures.
From our point of view, there is a marked distinction
between a concept and a frame: the concept while
formulating the knowledge base can be the structure,
gestalt and minor(indivisible) segment in different
linguistic level as a unit of meaning. The frame serves
as such a structure of understanding that it embodies
a typical and potentially probable underlying
information associated with one or another concept.
They are made up of components that are stored in
memory in case of necessity.
Fairy tales, as being one of the most ancient and
popular genres of the folklore, are distinguished by
their antiquity in terms of creation, their colorfulness,
ideological and artistic significance, which is a worthy
contribution to the literary heritage of the peoples of
the world. This priceless verbal artistic heritage,
created by our ancient ancestors, is invaluable and
dignified as classical literature, the art of the
architecture and musical works, on the basis of which
lies the universal ideas having peculiarities in the life of
all the people of the region, such as simplicity and
cunning, nobility and evil, honesty and dishonesty, love
and hatred, wealth and poverty.
To understand the meaning of fairy tales, it is
fundamental to have knowledge related to the history
of the people lived in prehistoric times, their social
lifestyle, working conditions, traditions of conducting
national economy, hunting, farming, livestock
experience, labor and household items, weapons,
attitude to nature, religious views, national values and
the system of their perspective. Otherwise, the listener
will find it demanding to explore a distinct perception
of the contents of the fairy tale. From this it turns out
that fairy tales are one of the spiritual means that
assists listeners to get acquainted with the
sociocultural lifestyle and specific mentality of the
people.
The word "fairy tale" is assorted in every community as
a connotation, but as a concept, the fairy tale is
different in terms of not only the language of each
nation, but also its culture and the way of thinking.
In cognitive linguistics, the concept of "fairy tale" is
regarded primarily as a mental unit that expresses a
source of information that reflects the knowledge and
experiences of people about it. Secondly, from the
point of view of cognitive semantics, the nature of this
notion and the relationship of its form are studied. In
the third, the "fairy tale" is approached both as a
concept and as a word, the correlation of meaning
between them is analyzed.
The concept of "fairy tale" is predominantly a linguistic
unit that carries a set of knowledge. It is also a lexical
unit with the seme of culture. The "fairy tale" is also
considered as a pragmatic system. Among other lexical
units in the linguistic, "fairy tale" exists a theory which
is based on an old ancient life experience, vital
observations and conclusions of our people. When
looking from this side of viewpoint, the essence of the
"fairy tale" as a cognitive concept is revealed.
Talking about the "fairy-tale frame", in fairy tales it is
observed that the reframing, to be precise, the

interpretation is also based on the mental analysis
associated with the human gene.
It is fact that throughout his life an individual lives by
realizing such necessities as of studying, getting
married, bringing the children up, however, he also
knows the existence of death. For example, it is true
that an initial born of the hero in the fairy-tale, his
upbringing, and then his attempts to try and find his
own happiness, etc., provides a fairy-tale plot, which in
fact depicts in itself the macro-scenario of the person's
life expectancy.
It turns out that the frame will be the main concept
(image) and the auxiliary images around it. It covers
the knowledge based on the details of the main object
(image or motif). Also the knowledge of the
relationship between objects and subjects in a fairy tale
is a frame as well. In this respect, its general essence
reminds the main point of the proportions of the verb.
It is worth noting that the motif is the smallest unit of
the subject, image, folk plot and an integral element of
the text. Fairy tale motifs play a key role in revealing
the inner meaning and core of fairy tales.
Fairy tale motifs were interpreted as the reflection of
ancient archetypes not as a unit of classification of the
structure connected with a magical fairy tale, but as a
legend, which first appeared in folk-tales of different
cultures that had a national character.
It is possible to inspect that in fairy tales there are such
artistic motifs that, despite the small in size, they
contain extensive information and the main idea of the
fairy tale. Of course, such motifs in all languages are
also radically different from each other by their
national character.
Fairy tale motifs play a major role in exposing the
interior meaning and significance of them as well as the
linguo cognitive and linguo-cultural features that
exhibit the broad aspects of communication.
It is not surprising that fairy
–
tale motifs are said to be
not as a unit of classification of the structure based on
a magical fairy tale, but as a folk consciousness, which
first appeared in various legend folk tales, and then of
a national character, is clarified as the reproduction of
ancient archetypes. Moreover, the study of the artistic
and aesthetic functions of the motif by the example of
the fairy tale genre is considered one of the topical
issues not only of world literature, but also of
linguistics.
Currently, interest in cognitive linguistics is increasing
day by day. As soon as cognitive discipline appeared, it
established its correspondence among several areas of
study. It addresses several types of perception in
solving its problems. Cognitive discipline or

Fairy tales, which are a rare example of the artistic
thinking of our people, are also valued as an
indispensable source of our spirituality. In this sense,
awareness of the universe is also the product of
imagination of perception.
The substance of the language in manifesting the
advance of the culture, its historical traditions, values,
memory can not be underestimated.
