Abstract
The relevance of this article is determined by the increasing interest of linguists in the results and principles of actualization of gender-inclusive concepts. Theoretical basis of the study of conceptual-frame mapping of knowledge, the structure of the conceptual cognitive frame “WOMAN” and its peripheral zones: subframes “Mother”, “Wife”, “Girl”, “Daughter”, “Sister” have been outlined in this article. Each subframe has been considered separately with the reliance on the analysis of narrow distribution of taxon lexemes of conceptual-cognitive subframes as a part of collocation models with prepositive and postpositive adjuncts taken by continuous sampling from the British National Corpus of the English language. Three semantic categories in the frame structure have been distinguished in the process of the categorization of data taken by continuous sampling: physical, mental, and social parameters. A number of subcategories has been identified in each category: physical parameters – age, physical conditions and abilities; appearance, mental parameters – character, behavior, knowledge, mental abilities, emotions and feelings, sociocultural parameters – origin, nationality, race, etc. Taking into consideration their density, we were able to find out what information is prominent in the consciousness of native speakers when peripheral zones of the frame are activated. The summary data of the analysis allow us to present a general picture of actualization of the peripheral zones in the conceptual-cognitive frame “WOMAN”.
