COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF ENGLISH FISHERY TERMINOLOGY.

This scientific article explores the cognitive aspects of English fishery terminology, aiming to uncover the intricate relationship between language and cognition. Fishery, as a specialized domain, exhibits a rich set of terms that enable effective communication and knowledge transfer among professionals in the field. While linguocognitive research has been carried out in various fields, the fishery terminological system has received limited attention. The cognitive approach emerged within the framework of cognitive linguistics considers terms as lexemes that model the world and reflect special knowledge. By analyzing the cognitive processes underlying the formation and comprehension of fishery terms, the study uncovers the cognitive mechanisms shaping language use in this sector. The article presents an analysis of the fishery concept's structure, hierarchy, and organization using methods from cognitive linguistics, focusing on its core, nuclear zone, and periphery. The study of the terms used to denote fishery in the cognitive aspect involves the selection and description of its key concepts, the identification of their main categorical features, the unification of identical concepts into categories of this field of knowledge. The results emphasize the importance of understanding how cognitive mechanisms influence the development and use of fishery terminology. The findings have implications for language teaching, communication in fishery-related industries, and the development of domain-specific terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
