Cognitive-Discursive Analysis of The Concept «Soul/Ruwx» In English And Karakalpak Poetry

Аннотация

This article explores the concept of «Soul/Ruwx» through a cognitive-discursive lens, integrating insights from linguistics, semiotics, psychology, anthropology, and sociology. Recognizing the relative novelty of discourse analysis in Karakalpak linguistics, this study draws upon established frameworks in English and world linguistics to analyze references in texts. Utilizing cognitive-discursive analysis informed by the theories of Saussure, Lakoff, and Johnson, the research examines how the concept of «Soul/Ruwx» is linguistically constructed and communicated. By analyzing examples by Byron’s and I.Yusupov’s poems, the study identifies key linguistic elements, including references, grammatical connections, and stylistic devices, that contribute to the conceptualization and expression of the soul. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the cross- linguistic and cultural dimensions of abstract concepts, highlighting the interplay between language, cognition, and discourse in shaping human understanding.

In contrast, in Karakalpak linguistics, this is presented in a holistic manner, incorporating two considered a new branch of science. subjects: discourse analysis and communicative In the first chapter, based on the theories of Ferdinand lexicon. Discourse analysis teaches the relationships de Saussure and George Lakoff with Mark Johnson , we between everyday texts, language, and its usage. It aim to reveal another aspect of the concept of developed alongside various disciplines such as "Soul/Руўх" through cognitive-discursive analysis by linguistics, semiotics, psychology, anthropology, and continuing our work in three different areas: discourse sociology in the 1960s and 1970s. According to analysis and grammatical-stylistic analysis. McCarthy, discourse analysis is a field that studies all written texts and everyday human communication, In Michael McCarthy's scholarly work (Discourse meaning spoken language. Analysis for Language Teachers), grammatical connections are classified in terms of references, Literature Review ellipsis/substitution, and conjunction. In English, we analyze references in texts through linguistic references are explained through pronouns such as he, International Journal Of Literature And Languages 51 https://theusajournals.com/index.php/ijll International Journal Of Literature And Languages (ISSN: 2771-2834) she, it, him, they, this, that, these, those, etc., as well 1.

Anaphoric. Here, the schoolmaster refers to a respected teacher who has been a part of the village community. 2. Cataphoric. Therefore, in this example, the terms schoolmaster and Exophoric reference is very similar to common words in village are used in a connected manner, while the Karakalpak language in terms of their lexical everybody refers to the people in that place, allowing meaning and functional service. Because exophoric us to clearly identify who is feeling sorry. The article references in English (the Queen, the Pope, the Army, "the" serves as a demonstrative pronoun similar to the car, the kids, the dog, the luggage, the city etc.) and "this," "that," and "those," while "everybody" functions in Karakalpak (адам, нан, китап, күн, түн, суў, таў, as a collective pronoun meaning "all" or "everyone. жер, қуяш, жарық, қараңғы, ат, жылқы etc.) are used METHOD with concepts that are common to most people. There are aspects in the Karakalpak language that perform Cognitive-discursive analysis of the concept of "soul" is the function of references, but since it is a new field, it a way to explore how we think and talk about the idea does not yet
