COGNITIVE PLANE OF STUDY OF SEPARATION AND COHESION (ON THE MATERIAL OF FRENCH SYNTAX)

Abstract

Research study proposes to consider the problem of syntactic relationships (cohesion and separation) in a new focus of the study: from the point of view of cognitive analysis. The article describes the mechanisms of formation; perception and interpretation of knowledge on the basis of syntactic cohesions and separation on the material of modern french language. The methodological foundations of the study are based on such dominant features of the modern paradigm of humanitarian knowledge as anthropocentrism, functionalism, and pragmatism. It is substantiated that national information of a certain stage of cultural development is reflected on the syntactic level through the formal means – the structure of the text and its constituent units. The activation of certain syntactic constructions in separate historical periods, the emergence of new ways of structuring idea can be explained by the influence on the language of social and cultural factors. It is established that cohesion represents the syntactic structures of the classical syntax. First of all, they form analytical, precise, pragmatic thinking of recipients based on the principles of logic, normativity and syntactic hierarchy. Separation, representing the syntactic structure of the actualizing syntax, is characterized by non-standard syntactic constructions, high expressiveness of expression, and the expansion of its informative boundaries. Separation contributes to the development of figurative, sensory and abstract thinking in recipients.
