Journal Title: Мова і міжкультурна комунікація - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of linguistic and conceptual pictures of the world, as well as their varieties. Considerable attention is paid to scientific picture of the world and in particular, to scientific concept. The author of the article underlines that on the whole the notion «picture of the world» is defined as the generalized logical reflection of the world in people’s minds in a certain stage of its development. The picture of the world is versatile; it includes the global image of the world that underlies in the human’s worldview. Thus, the picture of the world is subdivided into artistic, scientific, religious, philosophical and other pictures of the world, which form the conceptual picture of the world in an aggregate. The conceptual picture of the world is formed by mental images – concepts which produce conceptual sphere of the nation. The conceptual picture of the world can be represented as cognitive, because it is the result of cognition of reality and acts as a scope of well-organized knowledge, in other words conceptosphere is a set of concepts of the nation. Cognition of the world is impossible without language; as a result there is linguistic picture of the world, represented as a material embodiment of conceptual structures in language, i.e. the linguistic world image in its verbal embodiment. Different scientific viewpoints in relation to correlation of the notions «linguistic» and «conceptual» pictures of the world are presented in the article; the notion «scientific picture of the world» as well as «scientific concept» as its component is considered. The problem of differentiation of terms «scientific concept» and «scientific notion» is studied, as this problem attracts interest of scientists. The author of the article proved that scientific picture of the world is the aggregate of scientific knowledges about the world in a certain stage of human development. Scientific concept is a mental and linguistic phenomenon created in the process of cognitive activity of a professional in one or another sphere of scientific activity on the basis of his individual experience as well as the objectified in scientific works special invariant knowledge which is used by the professionals of certain sphere of science.
