Structural-Semantic Components of the Concept IDENTIDAD in Spanish Language

Abstract

The concept IDENTIDAD is of great importance in the daily life and activities of Spanish language speakers and plays an important role in shaping the conceptual and linguistic pictures of the world. The present article is dedicated to study the structural-cognitive approach, the concept and the structural-semantic features of the word IDENTIDAD. The models of the construction of the concept (field, frame) were determined, while the principles of the organization of the components in the semantic structure of the concepts were revealed as well. The present publication presents the structure of the concept IDENTIDAD on the material of Hispanic lexicographic sources. The language tools used to represent the concept IDENTIDAD were also considered. Spanish nouns, verbs and adjectives that state the features of the concept IDENTIDAD were defined and analyzed. To identify both the conceptual characteristics and content of the concept, a comparison of linguistic units, vocabulary definitions and language contexts were performed. Conceptual peculiarities manifested the value of the linguistic units used to express this concept, vocabulary and linguistic contexts. This is the reason why the linguistic means were analyzed in speech to express the concept IDENTIDAD. The material of the study of the conceptual component consisted in articles of encyclopedic, synonymous and explanatory dictionaries containing the key token IDENTIDAD. The structure of the concept IDENTIDAD was represented by the synthesis of the core and the periphery, which distinguished the conceptual, figurative and value components. The construction of the concept under study was possible by modeling the hierarchical structure to analyze the distribution of linguistic material by terminals, slots and subplots.
