COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AND THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE CONCEPT OF IRONY
Keywords:
Cognitive linguistics, concept of irony, semantics, pragmatics, metaphor, metonymy, ambiguity, polysemy, cognitive processes, linguistics.Abstract
This article analyzes the interrelation between language and cognition within cognitive linguistics, as well as the place and significance of the concept of irony in linguistics. The paper demonstrates the approaches developed in cognitive linguistics that view language as a complex and dynamic system of human thought. It discusses how irony-related concepts express linguistic ambiguity and polysemy and explains these phenomena in relation to cognitive processes. The research examines the semantic and pragmatic aspects of irony concepts and shows how phenomena such as metaphor and metonymy facilitate the comprehension of abstract concepts in language. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of irony concepts in cognitive linguistics and their significance in linguistic studies.
