LANGUAGE AS A SPACE OF MORAL COGNITION: AXIOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMIC DIMENSIONS OF LINGUISTIC MEANING
Keywords:
moral cognition; ethical semantics; axiological meaning; epistemic interpretation; linguistic worldview; discourse analysis; cognitive semantics; value orientation; pragmatics; cultural linguistics.Abstract
This article explores language as a space in which moral cognition, value-based interpretation and epistemic representation are formed and expressed. In contemporary linguistics, meaning is no longer understood as a purely structural or referential phenomenon; rather, it is interpreted as a dynamic unity of cognition, culture, evaluation and communicative intention. The article focuses on the relationship between ethical semantics, axiological orientation and epistemic interpretation in linguistic analysis.References
