Title: THE CONCEPT OF «LANGUAGE AWARENESS» IN THE MODERN LINGUISTIC TERMINOLOGY

Rubric: TERMINOLOGY OF LINGUISTIC. TERMINOGRAPHY AND PRACTICE OF COMPILING BRANCH DICTIONARIES

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article analyzes the historiography and historiosophy of the concept of linguistic consciousness in the projection onto the term system of modern linguistics. The definition of the term is proposed, its integrative connections, generic-species correlations in  synchrony and diachrony are clarified. In the historical aspect, the formation of national and social linguistic consciousness and their textual  implementation is established. Linguistic, sociocultural, cognitive, communicative factors are taken into account for the comprehensive disclosure of the content of the concept of linguistic consciousness and the differentiation of linguistic concepts related to it.
A  comprehensive analysis of the concept of language consciousness justifies its status as a psycholinguistic category that covers the results of  mental activity, perception and assimilation of information verbalized by means of the national language. Its units are concepts  (ethnocentrisms), which are realized in language with the help of an associative-verbal thesaurus: words, phrases, expressions, grammatical  and logical categories, grammatical and textual forms, functioning of the intentional-motivational mechanism. In the language, two types of  verbal manifestations of linguistic consciousness constantly interact: 1) associated with the formation of a stable mechanism of functional  structures of associative-verbal thesauri, the developed core of networks, words, grammatical and logical categories, which is a manifestation  of the durability of national memory; 2) connected with dynamic, primarily evaluative, processes in verbal networks, verbal structures, intentional images.
Linguistic consciousness in all its varieties (folk, social and ethnocentric, communicative) is a dynamic, culturally and  socially conditioned and integral element of the history of the literary language. It changes along with the development of the nation,  acquires new forms and manifestations, improves synchronously with the formation of a conscious, intellectual society.

Keywords: linguistic consciousness, national consciousness, social linguistic consciousness, linguistic picture of the world, text.
