Abstract

The term system of cognitive science is interdisciplinary in nature and is formed from different areas of scientific discourse. The terminological meaning is also developed in commonly used lexemes. The words attention, perception, memory, knowledge, consciousness, impact, when they call cognitive abilities, functions, mental processes, human behavioral reactions, become terms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the process of terminology of commonly used lexemes with a perceptual meaning, which include the lexemes attention, perception and the lexeme memory associated with the result of perceptual activity by causation relations (component ‘see’→’remember’). The material for the study was the definitions of these lexemes in explanatory dictionaries, dictionaries of synonyms, antonyms, phraseological dictionaries, linguoculturological, word-formation dictionaries. This made it possible to determine the features of their national word usage and a set of semes that could become the basis for the emerging terminological meaning. The second stage of the study included the analysis of the use of these words as terms in works on cognitive linguistics (publications in the periodicals “Issues of Cognitive Linguistics”, “Cognitive Studies of Language”, “Bulletin of Moscow State University, Series 19: Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, section Cognitive Studies ). Based on the materials of publications, a corpus was created, including 752 texts, 8,062,613 word usages. The discovered collocats showed intrasystemic connections of lexemes attention, perception, memory. An associative experiment was also conducted, in which 1-4 year students enrolled in the program Fundamental and Applied Linguistics of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The results of the experiment confirmed the assumption about the influence of commonly used semantic components of the meanings of Russian words on the formation of a new terminological meaning in such lexemes. The data obtained were summarized in the form of prototype articles of the Project Dictionary of Cognitive Terms
