Cognitive and communicative properties of MODESTY (based on the English-language discourse)
Abstract
The paper proposes a method of analysis of ethical linguocultural concept – a regulator of communicative behavior MODEST as an inseparable unity of the cognitive and communicative approaches. The method provides a base for coherent stages of analysis enabling to state lexical means of nominating the concept in English and its metaphorical actualization in discourse; to characterize conceptual, evaluative, image components of the concept and its properties as a member of the conceptual category VIRTUE; to structure the semantic space of the concept nominations; to schematize a frame structure of MODESTY; to describe the implementation of MODESTY in politeness strategies and tactics of Victorian discourse.
