DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2020-5-103-113
Introduction. This article presents a linguistic study of the typical properties of the concept memory, provides a detailed description of the concept memory and the conceptual category memory; establishes their terminological relationship. The content of the article provides a description of the modeling of typical components of the concept memory within the analyzed category. The purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to describe, model and analyze author’s consciousness in a complex of concepts, conceptual categories and meanings that represent it. The objectives of the study include identifying the components of the concept and its typical properties functioning as a component of the conceptual category memory. Material and methods. The study is conducted in the context of a communicative and anthropocentric paradigms. The research methods are represented by conceptual, psycholinguistic and semantic analyses of typical utterances in Russian and English, representing the components of the concept memory, as well as typical properties of the conceptual category memory. The material is represented by typical utterances in Russian and English, containing morphemes “па/ом”, “мем” (in Russian), mem (in English), as well as associates of the word “память” / memory. Results and discussion. The tables and corresponding descriptions simulate the typical content and psycholinguistic properties of the concept memory as part of the conceptual category memory. The verbal (possessing root morphemes “па/ом”, “мем” (in Russian), mem (in English) and associative selection of typical utterances representing the concept memory shows typical content of the concept and denotes its functional properties as part of the conceptual category memory. Various speech variants implementing the concept memory are described as small variants representing the concept. The implementation of the concept as part of the internal content of the designation of objects of culture and art, as well as part of the literary narrative (books texts), creates big variants. The emerging typical components and properties of the concept memory makes it possible to consider the conceptual category memory as one of the basic categories involved in the formation of the storyline and the semantic content of literary narrative. The analysis shows that it is possible to consider a text of a literary work (a book) as a big variant of realization of the conceptual category memory.
