Образный модус эмпатии в современном англоязычном дискурсе / Figurative modus of empathy in modern English-speaking discourse
Journal Title: Kognitsia, kommunikatsia, diskurs - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue
Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of EMPATHY concept as a cognitive and communicative formation; embodied by means of modern English language; using modus structuring. In particular; the notional; axiological; and figurative modi of empathy are singled out. The figurative modus is analyzed with actualization of its main components. The figurative modus is a non-reflexive metaphorical conceptualization; which is carried out by means of forming explicit and vivid representations of empathy. In its figurative image this concept is subject to the cognitive operation of reification; i.e.; it is shaped by a “naive user” of language as a physical body or physical mass. Herewith; the characteristics of the corresponding communicative action or activity rather than its procedural properties prove to be in the focus of attention; and empathy takes part in it as a physical substance.
