Functional-semantic and linguocognitive features of habitual structures
Abstract
The study of habitual structures within language involves understanding how habitual actions or states are expressed and interpreted across different linguistic systems. Habitual structures are linguistic constructions used to describe actions or situations that occur regularly or typically. These structures are a significant aspect of human cognition, as they help represent routine activities, customs, and recurring events. The analysis of habitual structures within the framework of cognitive linguistics and functional semantics provides a deep insight into how habituality is conceptually organized and conveyed in language. This article explores the functional-semantic and linguocognitive features of habitual structures, focusing on their role in grammar, meaning, and cognition. Through an examination of habitual constructions, we aim to shed light on their linguistic functions, cognitive representations, and the various ways languages encode habituality.
