THE ROLE OF SCENARIOS IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS
Keywords:
Scenario, cognitive model, cognitive linguistics, frame, semantic roles, event representation, human perception, information processingAbstract
This paper explores the scenario cognitive model as a key framework in cognitive linguistics, focusing on how humans perceive, process, and interpret information from the external environment. Scenarios allow individuals to anticipate events, organize knowledge, and respond adaptively by structuring experiences into interrelated components known as slots. Each slot represents essential elements of an event, such as participants, actions, instruments, and contextual factors like time and place. Drawing on the works of C. Fillmore, V. A. Maslova, E. Sweetser, and Sh. Safarov, the study examines the theoretical foundations of scenarios, their connection with frames, and their role in semantic analysis. By highlighting how scenarios facilitate step-by-step processing of information and uncover the core meaning of events, the paper underscores their significance in understanding human cognition and linguistic representation.
