PROCESS OF CONCEPTUALIZATION IN STYLISTICS
Abstract
Conceptualization is one of the most important processes of human cognitive activity, which consists in understanding the information coming to it and leads to the formation of concepts, conceptual structures and the entire conceptual system in the human brain (psyche) [4, p.93].Conceptualization is often considered as a "cross-cutting" process of knowledge structure for different forms of knowledge and the emergence of different structures of knowledge representation from some minimal conceptual units [3].The building blocks of the conceptual system are concepts that reduce the variety of observed and observed phenomena to something unified, thereby bringing them under one category.Concepts allow you to store knowledge about the world, contribute to the processing of subjective experience by substituting information for certain categories and classes developed by society.Two or more different objects can be considered as instances and representatives of the same class / category [1; 219].The most complete concept of a conceptual system was described in the work of R. I. Pavilenis.In his research, the conceptual system acts as a system of opinions and knowledge about the world, reflecting the cognitive experience of a person, both at the prelinguistic and linguistic level, but not reducible to any linguistic essence [5, p.12].As a component of the conceptual system, we consider individual meanings or concepts formed in the process of cognition of the world and reflecting information about this world."Even before getting acquainted with language," Pavilenis wrote, " a person gets acquainted with the world to a certain extent, learns about it; thanks to the known channels of sensory perception of the world, he has certain information about it, distinguishes and identifies the objects of his knowledge.The assimilation of any new information about the world is every indie based on the one he already has.The system of information about the world that is formed in this way is the conceptual system that it constructs as a system of certain human representations of the world" [7, p. 101].The process of conceptualization is closely related to the process of categorization: being a classification activity, they differ at the same time by the final result or by the purpose of the activity.The first is aimed at identifying certain minimal units of human experience in their ideal content representation, the second is aimed at combining units that are similar in one way or another or are characterized as identical into larger categories.
