“…As a result of the factorial analysis procedure, six factors were detected in the psychological structure of regional identity experience representation: "Activity" (the event connected with the experience of regional identity wasn't complete, but the subjects demonstrated determination, energy, enthusiasm), "Estrangement" (the event was connected with daily routine and ended negatively that entailed isolation; high activity was shown by people involved in the event experienced by the subject), "Readiness" (the event was followed by high emotional pressure, high motivation and activity of the subjects; on the one hand, they felt suspense and, on the other hand, were interested in obtainment of new knowledge), "Satisfaction" (the event happened in the territory of residence, ended positively, was characterized with high personal importance for the subjects and led to their integration with the region), "Regulativity" (the event was connected with the sphere of health and led to assimilation of some rules regulating the subjects' behavior, was accompanied by disappointment and surprise as a cognitive state of the personality; the time of the event becomes especially significant), "Modality" (the event occurred within the region borders, was followed by a condition of reverie, had a cognitive (epistemic) modality as a learning opportunity [8].…”

The paper is devoted to studying regional identity as a psychological interconnection with the territory of residence. The objective of the research is studying the peculiarities of an inhabitant’s mental representation of the childhood experience of this psychological interconnection. The research is based on the narrative method. As a result of factor analysis, the following six factors were specified in the psychological structure of the regional identity experience representation: “Activity”, “Estrangement”, “Readiness”, “Satisfaction”, “Regulativity”, “Modality”. Proceeding from the two samples compared, the following peculiarities of the childhood regional identity experience were revealed. Those who experienced regional identity in the childhood are more deeply involved in the experience, without isolating themselves from the internal and external circumstances that entailed the experience; they demonstrate a more positive attitude and are open to such experience. It appears that regulativity of the regional identity experience serves as a resource for its formation in youth. The obtained results can create the basis of a psychology pedagogy program of children’s regional identity formation (including migrant children) realized in educational organizations.

“…Своєю чергою, перцептивна альтернативність як перцептивна норма дозволяє виявити вражаючу понятійну кореляцію когнітивно-еволюційної теорії мови з філософією можливого, що розробляється М. Епштейном (Epstein, 2019), оскільки сприйняття можливостей є сприйняття альтернатив.…”

Cognitive-evolutionary theory of language: justification

Popov

2023

This article is devoted to substantiating the cognitive-evolutionary theory of language within the framework of cognitive linguistics. The main principle of cognitive linguistics, “explanation,” serves as the foundation for this theory. It is argued that the need for this theory arises from negative trends in modern cognitive linguistics, such as an excessive focus on studying concepts without a common understanding of the term "concept" and the substitution of the object of cognitive linguistic research with the study of thinking facilitated by language, rather than thinking itself. The article proposes a new theory for cognitive linguistics that aims to explain the mechanism by which the quality of thinking influences the quality of language. Furthermore, it seeks to determine what factors contribute to the quality of thinking and identify the reasons for differences in the development of languages, thinking, and cultures associated with languages. To support this theory, an interdisciplinarity is suggested, which involves incorporating anthropological data from various fields such as philosophy, logic, cognitive psychology, ontopsychology, ethnopsychology, psycholinguistics, neurophysiology, neurolinguistics, ontolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, and primatology. The author argues in favor of the overwhelmingly positive impact of biological and cognitive evolution. While the commonly accepted notion of thinking influencing language lacks complete proof, the article identifies perception as the cognitive structure that ensures the quality of thinking. In line with the idea that the quality of perception affects thinking, which in turn affects language, three degrees of perception are identified: syncretic, superficial, and alternative. Each degree of perception is described alongside linguistic and mental characteristics observed in great apes, children, modern primitive and ancient civilized people, as well as modern civilized people. The article concludes that differences between languages (and cultures) stem from the quality of perception regarding their developmental possibilities. As a result, the cognitive-evolutionary algorithm “perception: syncretic, superficial, or alternative → corresponding logic of thinking → corresponding logic of language (corresponding logic of culture)” is proposed.

“…Thus, the term -virtual‖ was a conceptualization of phenomena that exist temporarily and in partial form, and explained the communication between the universal absolute essence and an individual object. Later the interest on a virtual was leveled off but was revived by physicists as a designation of imaginary elementary objects and the concept of -possible world‖ [4].…”

Avatar is the phenomenon, which in its essence is the "representative" of the user the virtual environment. The avatar phenomenon contains the duality of its perception and its role in the sociocultural space. This ambivalence is clearly manifests in the positioning of the avatar in the visual arts and its "real" life in a virtual environment. In this article an attempt to understand the term "avatar" are taken. The historical insight allowed to outline the evolution of discourse and to draw conclusions about the fundamental difference between understanding the avatar features in the visual arts and in the sociocultural space. It was concluded that in a broad sense, an avatar realizes the need to "editting" the user's identity in the network and creates the illusion of superhuman, divine possibilities of influencing a character on a virtual network.
