STRUCTURE AND SEMANTIC FILLING OF THE PHRASEOLOGICAL FRAME OF HUMAN INTELLECTUAL CHARACTERISTICS (ON THE MATERIAL OF ENGLISH AND GEORGIAN LANGUAGES)
Abstract
This study explores how human intellectual characteristics are represented through phraseological expressions in English and Georgian. Applying principles of cognitive linguistics—specifically categorization and conceptualization—the research analyzes how intelligence and its absence are encoded in idiomatic expressions across both languages. The article analyzes the cognitive differential signs structuring the research frame. Based on the comparative analysis, the specificity of the expression of intellectual characteristics in English and Georgian phraseology is highlighted. The findings demonstrate how cultural, social, and historical factors shape the phraseological representation of intellectual characteristics, contributing to our understanding of the relationship between language, cognition, and cultural conceptualization of intelligence.
