The volume analyzes, among others, the mechanisms for grammatical polysemy, and brings to light the structural unity of artefact and natural concepts (such as CHAIR, ROAD, LAKE, RIVER, TREE). Additionally, object and motor concepts are defined in terms of the language of thought, and their representation in neurobiological memory codes is discussed; finally, the hierarchic structure of basic meanings of concrete nouns is shown to arise as a result of their step-by-step development in ontogeny. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aLanguage and languages$xOrigin 606 $aCognitive grammar 610 $alinguistics. 610 $asemantics. 610 $asyntax. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xOrigin. 615 0$aCognitive grammar. 676 $a401 700 $aKoshelev$b A.
