DOI: 10.23951/1609-624X-2024-1-87-96
The article provides a cognitive-semiotic analysis of the semantic structure of the verb of auditory perception iһit in the Sakha (Yakut) language. As an index sign, auditory perception is considered from the point of view of semiotics, and as a complex cultural symbol, it is studied by methods of cognitive linguistics. Auditory perception as a means of perceiving and signifying the world has specific methods of representation in the Sakha language; their cognitivesemiotic description is the objective of the article. The research material was taken from the Large Explanatory Dictionary of the Yakut Language, edited by P. A. Sleptsov. The corpus of examples was borrowed from the dictionary entries of the same dictionary. They mainly relate to artistic discourse, the author which is given. Data from the online translation dictionary https://sakhatyla.ru/ were also used. The work displays a cognitive-semiotic approach, which implies a description of the semantic structure of the verb under study in the context of semiotics and cognitive science, analyzing the contexts in which we consider the representation of the category of perception as a cultural symbol of the Sakha ethnic group. The cognitive structure of the verb of auditory perception iһit in the Yakut language has a large number of conceptual features that verbalize various parameters of both auditory perception itself and, as a result of the development of figurative meanings in the process of speech production, many manifestations of the external and internal world of a person. As the cognitive-semiotic analysis of the semantic structure of the verb iһit has shown, it implements the following conceptual features in various contexts: controllability/uncontrollability, shorttermism, mentality, mediation, confident knowledge, readiness, obedience, conviction, etc. The following parameters of auditory perception, implemented by with the verb iһit in phraseological units: temporal, spatial, qualitative, modal. The data obtained indicate that auditory perception in the Sakha linguistic view of the world is closely connected with the mental sphere of a person, since the central feature in the cognitive structure of the verb iһit is the conceptual attribute bil “to know, to find out.” Auditory perception in the Sakha language is, first of all, recognition.
