LINGUISTIC AND METAPHORICAL VERBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE
Keywords:
Knowledge, linguistic verbalization, metaphor, cognition, language, epistemology, communicationAbstract
The concept of knowledge is both complex and abstract, requiring intricate linguistic and metaphorical strategies for effective verbalization. This article explores how language and metaphor function as essential tools in expressing and shaping the concept of knowledge. By analyzing various linguistic approaches and metaphorical frameworks, this study highlights the dynamic interplay between language and cognition, emphasizing how metaphors not only illustrate knowledge but also influence how it is understood and communicated. The research bridges the gap between linguistic theory, cognitive science, and philosophy, providing insight into the ways knowledge is constructed and conveyed through verbal means.
