CONCEPT “FAMILY” IN THE LEXICAL-SEMANTIC AND PHRASEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF ENGLISH AND AZERBAIJANI LANGUAGES

Abstract

Concepts act as structural and substantive elements of the conceptual system of personality and provide a process for processing information that reflects subjective human experience in accordance with certain categories and classes that are formed in society. Concepts and a conceptual systemic problem, which is the main object of study of cognitive linguistics, is to study the conceptual system of linguistic units at the modern stage of linguistics, and to master a new area of linguistics. Concepts act as components of our awareness of the world and our knowledge of the environment. In linguistics, concepts are studied on the basis of lexical units and paremias, with less emphasis on phraseological units. Phraseological expressions more clearly reflect the main features of the concept.
