Indefinite Quantity in Language and Cognition: Imagery-Evaluative Perspective
Journal Title: Fìlologìčnì traktati - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The study highlights different types of cognitive metaphors, identifies motivational bases of quantitative images, and reveals evaluative potential of these metaphoric imaging. Analyzing both cognitive and language contexts helps establish correlations between the quantitative and qualitative (axiological) judgments in terms of notions “good” and “bad”. Involvement of image-schemes as motivational bases for interpreting quantitative metaphors is conditioned by their explanatory potential that reveals the patterns and specifics of human‟s thinking and imagination, by their contribution to the development of both somatic and special codes of a linguoculture and to objectifying the motivational grounds of the language quantitative expressions.
