LINGUISTIC-COGNITIVE FEATURES OF LANGUAGE AND ITS SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Keywords:
linguistic thinking, language consciousness, linguistic personality, psycholinguistics, linguistic-cognitive approach, anthropocentric linguistics, relationship between word and thought, cognitive activityAbstract
Over the past decades, linguistics has been developing within an anthropocentric approach to the study of language, focusing on the interaction between language and humans from psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, ethnolinguistic, and linguistic-cognitive perspectives. Research shows that the connection between language and thought plays a mediating role in shaping human cognitive activity. Scholars such as Wilhelm von Humboldt, L.S. Vygotsky, A.A. Potebnya, E. Benvenist, and others have deeply studied the role of language in thinking, as well as the formation of knowledge and experience through language. Modern studies focus on linguistic thinking, language consciousness, and linguistic personality, demonstrating the relationship of language with human cognition and culture.
