A Western outlander to Arabic linguistic thought; (The Cognitive Linguistic Model) From quintessence to Arabic Reception

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on cognitive linguistic achievement as a modern linguistic science whose star has loomed in the horizons of linguistic research nowadays, where we note the extent of the researcher's interest in the principles and theories brought by cognitive linguistics that serve the language and keep pace with the requirements of the modern era in a manner different from what other linguistic theories have presented. While the previous approaches looked at language from different explanatory and analytical perspectives, cognitive linguistics came to study language in terms of the mechanisms of mind functioning by linking language with mind and reality. Thus, this research sought to highlight cognitive linguistics in terms of its foundations and principles. It also illustrates the relationship of cognitive linguistics to other cognitive sciences on the one hand and the relationship of cognitive linguistics to other sciences on the other hand. Accordingly, a closer look at Arab linguists' perception and reception of this modern linguistic achievement
