ON THE STUDY OF THE INTUITIVE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF SYSTEMACY IN RUSSIAN PROVERBS

The article represents a piece of research aimed at the study of linguistic representation of the concept SYSTEM in a historical perspective and its modern state. Significance of the work is characterized by the chosen object and the subject of the research that assumes application of cognitive approach to the linguistic means which reflect the ways of comprehension of the objective reality main categories. Fundamental character of this category is considered as an implication for its understanding even before defining a scientific system theory, and that makes the research of a range of ordinary knowledge about the world systemacy on these languages interesting. To solve this task an attempt is made on the material of Russian proverbs to identify and analyze linguistically objectified intuitive systematic views as a result of the conceptualization of the ontological category «system» by national consciousness. To choose the factual evidence, the author has considered the value of paramiological linguistic pool on terms of the number of national world perception elements. Special attention is focused on a complex of naive knowledge about the system; this knowledge is involved in the formation of the inner form and the general meaning of paremiological units. With the use of semantic and conceptual analyses, a set of pre-scientific conceptual characteristics of the concept SYSTEM is established. Some groups of typical motivating situations are distinguished, on the background of which the comprehension of system properties takes place. The role of the anthropocentric factor is specified which determines profiling of system features in the process of stereotyping of practically significant patterns of behavior and relationships between people, fragments of domestic life and patterns of the natural environment.
