2026-11-13T12:11:17+00:00

The following article analyzes the transfer of word meaning from the perspective of cognitive linguistics, through the role of the concept. It is emphasized that in order to know things and phenomena in existence, a person must name them, and in order to name them, he must have an idea about them. Imagination is manifested in the form of concepts, and concepts are expressed in language through words. It is shown that the concept, as a complex form of thinking, differs from intuition, perception and imagination, and reflects the connections, states and laws of objects and phenomena in objective reality in the human mind. Meaning transfer is psycholinguistically based on the function of the concept to fully express knowledge and gives rise to new semantic and grammatical phenomena. As a stylistic means, it gives rise to elation and imagery in speech, and also has its own morphological and syntactic properties.

This article considers the social essence of language as one of the main theoretical issues of modern linguistics. The transfer of word meaning as a specific manifestation of the existence of the language system is analyzed from the perspective of the existence of language, semiotics and information theory. The author emphasizes that there are still difficulties in fully resolving the fact that language is a social phenomenon, its application to lexis, grammar, stylistics, norms and its variants. It is noted that scientists who recognize the social aspects of lexis often do not connect grammar with society.
