Spelling Norms of the Modern Ukrainian Language in the Context of Neurolinguistics

Abstract

Cognitive neurolinguistics is a scientific discipline that studies the brain processes underlying speech recognition and generation, language acquisition, and quasi-linguistic symbolism. This science examines speech in its connection with human cognition. Speech is presented as one of the main means of accumulating, systematizing, processing and using knowledge about the world. This work is devoted to the historical, scientific and methodological analysis of cognitive neurolinguistics as an aspect of spelling norms of the modern Ukrainian language. The relationship between neurolinguistics and philosophy of language and general linguistics has been studied. There are three main philosophical approaches: structuralism, formalism, and activity philosophy, which influenced modern neurolinguistics. The article considers further prospects for the development of neurolinguistics as a factor in the formation of the modern Ukrainian language. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the spelling of the modern Ukrainian language as a factor of neurolinguistics. The methods of synthesis, analysis, scientific, explanatory, plus descriptive and research methods were used for the research. The article highlights principles of using the neurolinguistic approach when studying the structural features and semantic code of phraseological units of the Latin language, followed by their interpretation in the Ukrainian language. This technique reveals mechanisms of perceiving stable combinations of any language and allows recoding the meaning of a phraseological unit in the target language, taking into account peculiarities of the mentality of its speaker. The results of the work do not exhaust all options for further research, but are important in formulating important conclusions.
