On the Issue of Cognitive Potential of Some English Adjectives and Participles Verbalizing the Concept of Smell
Abstract
The article deals with analysing a part of the concept of smell verbalised by adjectives and participles in the English language image of the world by means of linguo-cognitive methods. For this reason the author looks at direct and methaphorical meanings of 11 English adjectives and participles containing the seme «neutral smell». We believe that linguo-сognitive analysis of phraseological meanings of lexemes enables us to draw certain conclusions about some culturally determined national features of the phenomenon of smell perception in the English language image of the world.
