POLYSEMY IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS
Keywords:
Cognitive linguistics, Cognitive lens, The notion of polysemy, an instance of etonymic/metaphoric transfer, domains of language, namely lexicon, morphology, and syntax, force polysemy, polysemous words, difference between polysemy and homonymy.Abstract
The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the deep language features that predefine polysemy in English from a cognitive lens. Following a distinguished principle of cognitive linguistics, we consider the semantics of a word to be a two-level phenomenon, having the semantic (external) level and the conceptual (internal) level. In contrast to conventional research into polysemy within historical and lexical semantics, cognitive analyses do not focus on words but consider polysemy a cognitive organizing principle common to other domains of language: morphology, phonology, and syntax
