Abstract:

 


The present paper considers the
problem of the cognitive essence of spatial-temporal continuum in the novel
“The Buried Giant” by Kazuo Ishiguro.  
The integrative complicated concept ‘spatial-temporal
continuum’ as a cognitive matrix represented in the system of cognitive
contexts (structures of knowledge) includes concepts (Memory, Path, Journey)
which belong to different conceptual fields. 


The authors study the category Event
and the category Space (through the category Path) simultaneously.  The category Event is represented through the
concept Journey and viewed as an important factor for the dynamic development
and changes of spatial-temporal continuum. The concept Journey represents
itself the search for the Truth. 


The study is based on the linguistic
theory of frame semantics developed by Charles J. Fillmore. The usage of frame
semantics will help to explain the ways of the formation of different meanings
at the functional level.  In this study
frame semantics method will help to disclose the meaning and interdependence of
a set of events in their temporal continuity.


The authors come to the conclusion
that cognitive contexts of the category Event lead to the same cognitive-conceptual
fields and cognitive-contextual meanings identified while analyzing the
category Time (the concept Memory). The findings prove the dialectic unity of
Space-Time-Matter.
