Cognitive Semantics – the area of study that focuses on how language encodes and reflects conceptual structures, i.e. it deals with the conceptual theory of meaning which presupposes the multilevel interpretation of both linguistic and non-linguistic (encyclopedic) knowledge.
Cognitive style – the author’s individual way of conveying and presenting information, its peculiar arrangement in the text related to a specific choice of cognitive operations and their preferable usage in the process of text production.
Cognitive stylistics – is the discipline emerged at the interface between linguistics, literary studies and cognitive science; it is concerned with the study of cognitive style, cognitive principles of text production and text perception, cognitive basis of stylistic devices, implicative aspects of textual communication and “figure and ground” theory.
Cultural concept – a complex mental unit, a means of representation of knowledge structures, a multifold cognitive structure, an operational unit of memory, “a quantum of knowledge”, a part of general knowledge about the world, a unit of the conceptual system reflecting the human cognitive activity.
Concept – a culture specific and nationally oriented unit, a multifold mental structure consisting of notional, image-bearing and evaluative layers and characterized by emotional, expressive components and associative links.
Conceptual blending/integration – is a cognitive operation based on the conceptual structures of two unrelated mental spaces (input spaces) which are linked by means of a generic space, and on the basis of their common elements are projected onto a new mental space (a blend), which generates a new emergent structure.
Conceptual domain – is a body of knowledge that organizes related concepts.
