Cognitive Modeling of a Conceptual Domain Sociocultural Threats

EasyChair Preprint 4417

Abstract

The article discusses ways of modeling the conceptual domain “sociocultural threats”, represented in the texts, included in purposely elaborated THREATCorpus. The results of the research present the process of cognitive categorization of the domain, determination of the levels of the cognitive category and rationale for its borders. The thesaurus, elaborated on the basis of the THREATCorpus, is regarded as a knowledge representation structure for sociocultural threats. It is proved that both the category “sociocultural threats” and the thesaurus are mental and language representations of the domain.
