Abstract

The study offers the concept of linguistic description of category of memory. It takes into account the multidimensionality, structuredness, communicative nature of the given category, language vs. speech opposition, cognitive, volitional functions, systematic and continuum linguistic organization, consistency as the most important law of language development. The authors worked out the complex approach combining achievements of systematic and structured, cognitive and socio-pragmatic paradigms of linguistics. The research algorithm involves introducing temporal, spatial and social coordinate axis in the linguistic model of category of memory. The work provides the following methods: descriptive, methods of definition, componential, contextual, historic and semasiological, comparative, discourse analysis, method of quantitative estimation. The study describes genetic paradigm and nominative paradigms of memory operations in standard German, Swiss, Austrian national variants of German, low German dialect «Platt»; linguistic reflection of ontological, axiological and epistemological dimensions of the examined category; manifestation of functioning of autobiographical and collective memory subsystems. The investigation verifies the authors‘ hypothesis of integrated representation and discourse manifestation of the studied phenomenon. For designating the object‘s summary cognitive mapping in the result of its linguistic acquisition a new term «linguistic coedification» is introduced. The results of the study can be applied in linguistic modelling other notional categories, in university courses of general linguistics, lexicology, history and stylistics of the German language, lexicography.
