Martinyuk A. P. Concept via integrative theory of language

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the methodology, basic notions and methodic procedures of the cognitive-discursive trend of concept research within the integrational tendencies in linguistics and outlines the perspectives of the discursive approach which criticizes the view of language as a verbal representation of ready-made knowledge used as an instrument of communication to exchange information and establishes the conception of language as a semiotic means of regulating people’s behaviour.
