Kognitívna analýza konceptov emócií ako interpretačných konštruktov slovenského jazykovo-kultúrneho spoločenstva
Cognitive Analysisof Emotional Concepts as Interpretive Constructs of Slovak Linguistic-cultural Community

Summary/Abstract: The part of elementary postulates of cognitive linguistics is the premise that metaphor is not only linguistic but also primary mental and culturally determined phenomenon that allows us to think and communicate about abstract entities as sensually perceived things or phenomena. Human being, his interpretation of the world is largely contingent on the correlation of physical and subjective experiences. This causes the same metaphors in genetically and typologically different languages. On the other hand, we register conceptual metaphors reflecting intercultural differences that are conditional on specific religious and cultural ideas, historical-ideological development of the given community and its cultural tradition. The aim of the work is cognitive analysis of conceptual metaphors of selected emotional concepts in Slovak language. The research of concept „profiling“ also implies broader cultural aspect.
