The
basic terms of cognitive semantics are: frame, script, concepts, cognitive
structures of knowledge.
In
any case, by means of cognitive structures those are used to integrate
information of a species, which makes them very close to the description of
schemes, situations, and frames [1]. Cognitive structures, suggest the need to
bring linguistic analysis as linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge, giving
the multi-level nature of the semantic theory. Understanding of linguistic
utterances is impossible without knowledge of the world, the reaction of a
product of an individual to the environment. It is a cognitive approach to the
study of the language system, according to which the most important phenomena
of language, meaning, the rules of combination of meanings, grammatical
categories, reasoning - is linguistic reflexes relevant to cognitive
structures. In terms of the cognitive approach, the thinking man is a mechanism
for handling knowledge. Treatment processes are determined by the method of
knowledge representation, the central problem is not only cognitive, but also
of artificial intelligence.
Frame
- is a multi- volume concept, it is very closely related to the notion of a
semantic field. The frame, being a gestalt, is of great interest to linguistic
research. Original frames are of interest only to research in artificial
intelligence
The
frame can be defined as a stereotypical information [45, p.16], which makes it
an important tool in the learning process, and, therefore, in categorization
and conceptualization, in the process of recognition and identification. This
is due to the fact that a person "by a change in separate parts» can
"do it (cognitive data structure) suitable for understanding the broader
class of objects or phenomena" [4].
The
idea of frame-based networks has been adopted in the cognitive
linguistics from programming. It combines the concept of lexical-semantic
fields, frame-based theory and focused on the creation of semantic networks.
The Semantic Web is a type of framing the network, but as it is used only in
linguistics, and then we can call it a more general concept - the concept of
framing the network. In papers on applied linguistics, we found the term
'thesaurus network'. At first sight between the concepts of thesaurus network
and semantic network is not much distinction. The concept of "thesaurus
network" used in applied linguistics and means in practice the same as the
semantic web. The concept of "semantic web" is a new concept that is
just beginning to be used in linguistics. It came into the linguistics from programming.
This frame is subject, taxonomic frame, possessive frame, actional frame and
comparative frame. In our opinion, the
frame-based networks are not the five basic types of frames belonging to the
same concept, but different concepts and components of frames.
The
network consists of such frames and framing. From this we can conclude that all
the language concepts can be combined into a single frame-based network, which
is a model of the language. If we remember that the thesaurus - is the
dictionary that reflects the vocabulary of the language in its entirety, this
model will be called the language thesaurus network. Returning to the
difference between the concepts of the semantic network and thesaurus network,
we can now conclude that the semantic web, as a linguistic framing analog
network is also a concept thesaurus network. It is too early to speak of a
unified network of any language thesaurus, because there is no sufficient
number of working material.
From
all this we can conclude that the frame, being the type of lexical concept is
the material for cognitive science and its further development, the science of
integrating multiple of disciplines - in this case, linguistics and
programming.
"Frame"
is also featured as a common generic designation of a set of concepts such as:
circuit, the script, the cognitive model. In the works on artificial
intelligence, knowledge representation, and engineering we understand the
structure under the frame of data (image) associated with the conceptual
objects in memory and necessary for the representation of a typical /
stereotypical situation, or the basic unit of knowledge representation. Along
with the term frame we also use the term script / script situational model,
cognitive model, a scene, a prototype circuit.
Scheme
is "organized knowledge packets collected to represent separate
independent units of knowledge". An important property of the scheme is
its multidimensional nature, since the circuit corresponding to a particular
object or phenomenon, we can fix a variety of information about him. As a
result, the object can be referred to several schemes (appearance, functional
features, and in accordance with the type of information required.
The
scenario is the typical structure of the frame of an event / situation,
combining the characteristics of the event / situation, or a data structure
with respect to some topics; it is directly related to the situation [3]. The
actions referred to a script running in the circumstances. Scenario frame
usually allows two moves: the usual sequence or its breach, resulting in
possible way out of the scene / situation. The hierarchical structure of the
frame consists of a terminal node slots (terminals) and non-terminal nodes that
contain specific details and information relating to the conceptual object that
describes the frame, as well as data necessary for input procedure. The
terminal is the subject and describes its specific features, as well as
information about the relationships between objects, on how to use the frame,
on its next action or an action to be performed, if the assumption is not
justified. Different frames of a system describe one object from different
angles. Representation of the text as a frame hierarchy reflects text building
patterns and distribution of information. The analysis makes it possible to
build a frame hierarchy of semantic relationships within the text. Framing for
representing the semantics of the text is necessary to define as the
transformational operations that modify the content, and when you save a form-defined
convolution. Now we turn to the following basic concepts of cognitive
semantics.
The
emergence of cognitive linguistics has led to the widespread use of the term in
linguistic research of a concept. Based on the fact that a person thinks by
concepts, combining them and implementing a framework of concepts and their
combinations underlying predication, creating new concepts in thinking and
thinking is the manipulation of concepts as global units of structured
knowledge, we consider the concept
of a global mental unit, which is a quantum-structured knowledge.
Concept
(concept; Konzept) - a unit of mental or psychic resources of our
consciousness, rapid and meaningful unit of memory, mental lexicon, conceptual
system and language of the brain (linguamentalis), the whole picture of the
world, reflected in the human psyche. In the processes of human thinking
concepts operate so that reflects the content of the results of human activity
and knowledge of the world in the form of some "rays" of knowledge.
Concepts arise in the structuring of information as an objective state of
affairs in the world, and about imaginary worlds, and possible states of
affairs in these worlds. Concepts reduce the diversity of observed and imagined
events to something common, bringing them under one heading, and allow you to
store knowledge about the world.
Cognitive
science cannot yet answer the question of how concepts arise, except as
indicated by the formation of meaning in general terms. It is believed that the
best access to the description and definition of the nature of concepts
provides language. Furthermore, some scientists believe that a simple concept is to be presented in a
word, but a complex one is represented by phrases and sentences. According to
some researchers [6], the analysis of lexical systems of languages
may lead to the discovery of a small number of
"primitive" (like someone, something, thing, place, and so forth),
the combination of which can be described on the whole vocabulary of a language
[6].
