CONCEPTUAL FIELD AS A BASIS OF DISCOURSE MODELLING (ON THE MATERIAL OF NEW TESTAMENT’S TEXT)
The author of the article represents her own approach to discourse analysis. Due to the textual nature of the religious discourse she is structuring the conceptual field love in the Orthodox and Protestant discourse on the basis of New Testament (its Russian and English version). The aim of the research is to study the specifics of the above-mentioned conceptual field’s discourse functioning. The author singles out the mental, associative-semantic, linguocultural and genre specifics of the conceptual field love in the Orthodox and Protestant discourse and conducts the linguocognitive and linguophilosophical analysis of the parable about Prodigal Son. With the help of the semantic-cognitive analysis the associative-semantic field has been built, which is organized from the special cognitive units, lexical units, collocation groups and microconcepts. The author makes interesting conclusions about the linguocultural, language, cognitive and theological peculiarities of the conceptual field love in the religious Christian discourse.
