Cognitive Structure of Concept INTUITION

The article discusses the semantic, pragmatic and syntactic aspects of the concept of INTUITION, revealing its objectification in the English language worldview. The objective of the work is to study the conceptual ontology of an irrational understanding, to identify and describe the cognitive structure of the concept under study. The work uses the methods of cognitive interpretation, which consists in the identification and description of cognitive features that form the content of the concept under study; cognitive modeling, which is the construction of idealized structures contingent with the organization of information in the human mind. The cognitive and perceptual forms of intuitive awareness are closely interrelated, reflecting through the prism of human cognitive activity two main components of the phenomenon being studied - intellectual and sensual. In the present work, the categories of sensation and understanding, as components of the semiosphere of the inner world of man, are interconnected and form the medial semantic space of an irrational understanding - intuition. In the semantic aspect, the essence of the concept INTUITION is objectified by conceptual signs of insight, belief, feeling, perception, apprehension, cognition, knowledge, understanding. The structure of irrational understanding includes cognitive signs of surprise, logical groundlessness, unconsciousness and irrationalness. The pragmatic aspect of the INTUITION concept in this article is considered from the standpoint of a positive and negative assessment of this phenomenon by the English-speaking subject. Through the cognitive modeling method, additional conceptual features of the concept under study are identified: the anthropomorphic metaphorical model INTUITION IS A HUMAN BEING, the ontological model INTUITION IS A HUMAN SOUL, the artifact model INTUITION IS A VALUABLE THING. In the syntactic aspect, constructions with connectors are considered that reveal the content of the concept under study and manifest its relationship with such mental-lingual formations as CREATIVITY, EXPERIENCE, SELF-COGNITION, EMOTION, FEELING. The analysis of language factology demonstrates the interdependence of intuition and sensory perception, emotional experience, self-knowledge of a person with creative potential, accumulating direct knowledge, images, symbols and associations from the external world based on social intelligence and abstract sensations. The results can be useful for further study of the semiosphere of the inner world of a person, as well as works on cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics.
