REPRODUCIBILITY OF LANGUAGE UNITS: LINGVUO-COGNITIVE ASPECT

Abstract

The article speaks on the linguistic and cognitive concepts of reproducibility as of the speaker's ability to retrieve from memory and apply not only words but syntactic constructions. Reproducibility is seen as a special ability to be a stable, historically fixed language unit, reflecting the reality; an ability to be reproduced as one and the same unit in various texts. The article speaks on the integral and distinguishing characteristics of the categories of reproducibility and stability; it dwells on cognitive conditionality of reproducibility, which gives an opportunity to reproduce not only notional units but units of communication.
