COGNITIVE MODEL OF VERBS OF SPEECH PERCEPTION

Abstract

Abstract. Verb semantics is one of the main issues of today's linguistics. Because, without deep investigation of semantic aspects of a linguistic phenomenon, its nature cannot be fully revealed. The meaning of the verb as a cognitive structure formed in the human mind reflects a certain layer of human experience, a certain idea about the world. The French researcher L. Tenier, who proposed the verbocentric concept of the structure of the sentence, noted that the verb is able to express its situation according to its lexical meaning, and determine the number and composition of a part of a sentence in advance. L.Tenier considers this ability of verb semantics to be the propositional aspect of the verb. It is known that verbs are rich in grammatical forms and categories compared to other parts of speech. At the same time, verbs are paradigmatically more diverse and syntagmatically comprehensive. The most important feature of the verb is that it takes the principal role in the sentence and in the lexicon of the language. That is why, in works of ancient linguists, the verb is recorded as a separate part of speech that’s versatility is evident in its semantic features and classification.
