Тhe linguo-philosophical analysis of corporeity in the english world picture

Abstract

The article is an attempt of interdisciplinary research of one of the universal features in modern humanities discourse, viz. corporeity, which is studied by philosophers (philosophy of “new corporeity” (somatic intention), philosophy of language (text body), philologists (corporeity phenomenal modus), psychologists (self-concept) and linguists (somatic field of the concept CORPOREITY) etc. The authors describe specific features of corporeity as a sociocultural phenomenon, present somatic field of the concept on the basis of English-language periodicals, show lexico-semantic variants of an archilexeme “body” and reconstruct the structure of the concept. The authors make an attempt to pick out axiological set within modern English language picture of the world system on the basis of analysis of the BBC and Daily News (500 articles 2011-2012).
