The theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics, and the relationship between language and mind
Abstract
Cognitive linguistics is a branch of linguistics that studies the interrelationship between language and the human mind. It examines the meanings and concepts embedded in language in connection with human cognition, perceptual processes, and mental mechanisms. Language and thought are interconnected—language is not merely a means of communication but also reflects how humans perceive and interpret the world. This article explores the theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics, as well as the relationship between language and the mind, and analyzes relevant data to provide a comprehensive understanding of this field.
