| description | The paper is focused on common and different aspects of two leading
semasiological theories of today - the theory of the Russian semasiologist
M. V. Nikitin and that of the American cognitive linguist R. W. Langacker.
Both authors view meaning as a complex psychic phenomenon whose formation is
affected by numerous factors - social, cultural, psychological, situational,
etc. The paper focuses on significant, but not identical aspects of these
theories, which represent their major distinctive features - sources of
meaning and basic structures of consciousness according to M. V. Nikitin, as
well as the actualization of components of the construed meaning under the
impact of specificity/schematics, focusing, prominence and perspective as
factors which affect the construal according to R. W. Langacker. It becomes
evident that they do not so much contradict as complement each other,
revealing such essential facets of meaning as its formation and functioning. |
