A cognitive man and a language representation : some observations on the ways of mental record of information

Abstract

The psychological studies show that a man stores information in his mind, in the form o f cognitive-semantic models or schemes. The aim o f the following paper is an attempt to systematize approaches and ideas concerning the information representation in language. This research will present the psychological findings which provided some new methods o f a language description, then some o f the notions (introduced by G. Fauconnier, Ch. Fillmore, J.-P. Descles, M. Johnson, G. Lakoff, R. Langacker, J. Sowa, R. Schank and R. Abelson), which describe the semantic structure will be discussed. The author will try to demonstrate that this variability o f theories and ideas refers in fact to one and the same problem, which is the conceptual record and representation o f perceived reality, which actually takes the symbolic form anchored in language.
