Chapter XIX. Methods of Conceptual Analysis

Each branch of linguistics is supposed to have its own subject, aims and methods of analysis. Only then it gets the status of an independent science. In cognitive linguistics the problem of methodology and methods of analysis attracts considerable attention of many scholars such as N.D. Arutyunova, E.S. Kubryakova, D.U. Ashurova, Yu. S. Stepanov, R.M. Frumkina, M.V. Pimenova, Z.D. Popova, IA . Sternin, V.I. Karasik, etc.

It is worth mentioning that along with traditional methods of analysis accepted in Cognitive Linguistics (etymological, definitional, componential, contextual and textual analyses), there have been developing new methods of conceptual analysis: cognitive mapping, frame analysis, cognitive methaphorical analysis.
