Abstract
This master’s thesis studies the motivation of English and Russian figurative expressions with the components eye(s) and глаз(а) that is based on cultural models. The main aim of the thesis is to examine the semantic characteristics of figurative expressions and their relation to cognitive mechanisms (such as conceptual metaphor, conceptual metonymy, and conventional knowledge) motivating them. The study relies on the cognitive linguistic claim that our mind is inherently embodied and that meaning arises from our more general knowledge of the world embodied in our conceptual system. The analysis of figurative expressions with the component eye(s)/глаз(а) tries to show how embodiment affects and shapes people's understanding of the meaning of linguistic expressions, while a comparative study of languages helps us see how universal bodily experience is reflected in languages which share a similar cultural background.
Abstract (russian)
В дипломной работе изучается мотивация образных выражений английского и русского языков с компонентами eye(s) и глаз(а), которые базируются на культурных моделях. Основная цель работы - изучить семантические характеристики образных выражений и их связь с когнитивными механизмами (такими как концептуальная метафора, концептуальная метонимия и общепринятые знания), мотивирующими их. Исследование опирается на утверждение когнитивной лингвистики о том, что наш разум по своей сути воплощен и что значение возникает из наших общих знаний о мире, воплощенных в нашей концептуальной системе. Анализ образных выражений с компонентами eye(s) / глаз(а) пытается показать, как воплощение влияет на и формирует наше понимание значения языковых выражений. Сравнительное изучение языков помогает нам увидеть, как универсальный телесный опыт отражается в языках, которые имеют сходный культурный фон.
