VERBALIZATION OF INTERCONCEPTUAL CONNECTIONS (BASED ON THE COGNITIVE MAP OF GERMAN ARTISTIC MATRIMONIAL CONFLICT DISCOURSE)

Abstract

The article deals with the inter-conceptual connections and their verbalizers examined within the cognitive map of the German artistic matrimonial conflict discourse. The aim of the study is to explore the concept system of the German artistic marital conflict discourse by performing a statistical analysis of the verbalizers of concepts; identifying systemic connections between concepts; formation of a cognitive map of the German artistic matrimonial conflict discourse; description of types of inter-conceptual connections. Research methods are based on the principles of both cognitive-discursive and system-structural linguistics in order to comprehensively analyze the cognitive resources of conceptual space. The inductive method is used to analyze the language material from its accumulation to further systematization and to establish its functional features in the German matrimonial conflict spoken discourse. Conceptual analysis within the construction method (to establish priority concepts) and statistical methods were also used, which allowed to determine the statistical significance of verbalized in the studied discursive forms of concepts, and, consequently, discourse-creating autochthons (the χ2-square) and determine the strength between researched concepts (contingency coefficient K). Modern German matrimonial conflict discourse is a dynamic mental and lingual construct of a conflict direction between communicants taking status-roles of husband / partner and wife / partner, which is based on the divergence of interests, and initiating rivalry during everyday matrimonial conversation. The conceptual space of German matrimonial conflicting spoken discourse is a discursive configuration of multilevel and hierarchically ordered conceptual fillers. A more detailed examination of the cognitive map of the German artistic marital conflict discourse is based not only on establishing the presence and determining the degree of closeness of inter-conceptual connections against the background of the cognitive space of the discourse, but also on focusing attention on the type of such a connection: causation, coordination, crossing or following, the most productive among which there is а crossing.
