Abstract
This article explores the main ideas and principles of cognitive linguistics, a branch of linguistics that studies the relationship between language and human cognition. It focuses on how people perceive, categorize, and conceptualize their experiences through linguistic structures. The research highlights key theories such as conceptual metaphor, image schemas, embodiment, and categorization, showing that language is not only a means of communication but also a reflection of human thought processes. The article also examines the role of culture and mental representation in shaping meaning, emphasizing that linguistic knowledge is deeply connected to general cognitive abilities. Overall, the study aims to provide a clear understanding of how cognitive linguistics explains the interaction between mind, language, and reality.
