COGNITIVE-SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF FUNCTIONING OF THE STYLISTICALLY MARKED SPEECH UNITS FORMED ON THE BASIS OF PATH CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The article is devoted to the cognitive-semantic analysis of the stylistically marked speech units formed on the basis of path construction. The authors aim to discover the cognitive mechanisms determining the expressivity and figurativeness of the certain statements with path construction. The analysis indicated that stylistic effects typical for these statements are determined by the certain cognitive-semantic features of the components of path construction’s plane of content which, preserving spatial semantics, acquire the additional connotations in the abstract semantics sphere.
