COGNITIVE–DISCURSIVE MECHANISMS OF THE FORMATION OF CONCEPTS AND CONCEPTUAL SPHERES IN LITERARY DISCOURSE

This thesis is devoted to a comparative linguistic investigation of the cognitive–discursive mechanisms underlying the formation of concepts and conceptual spheres in various literary discourses. In the study, a concept is interpreted as a linguo-cognitive unit, while a conceptual sphere is viewed as a semantic and axiological macrosystem formed within the framework of discourse. Drawing on the integration of cognitive and discursive approaches, the research elucidates how concepts are activated in literary texts, how they interact with one another, and how they collectively construct an integrated conceptual sphere. The comparative analysis identifies invariant and variable features of conceptual organization across different types of literary discourse.
