COGNITIVE SCIENCE AND LINGUOCULTUROLOGY IN FRENCH MODERN LINGUISTICS

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of cognitive science and linguoculturology within the framework of modern French linguistics. By integrating cognitive and cultural perspectives, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how language operates both as a cognitive system and a cultural artifact. The research employs a multi-method approach, including literature review, corpus analysis, case studies, surveys, interviews, and experimental studies. Key findings reveal significant cognitive patterns in French language use, such as the prevalence of metaphorical language, the role of cognitive schemas in language acquisition, and the cognitive advantages of syntactic structures. Additionally, the study highlights profound cultural influences, including the richness of idiomatic expressions, the importance of cultural context in communication, and the expression of cultural identity through regional dialects. The integration of these perspectives offers valuable insights for linguistic theory and practical applications in language education, translation, and cross-cultural communication. The study concludes that a holistic approach, embracing both cognitive and cultural dimensions, is essential for advancing our understanding of the French language and its role in human communication and cultural expression.
