One of the ways of approach to the solving of complicated issues related to the study of the word
and its meanings in cognitive linguistics is both the name of subject or subjects and the expression of
the meaning, sometimes all of the system of value. Their meanings or shades can be related to the
same words, various content, they express their attitudes in the dynamic, historical reality. As understanding by the society, nation in certain period, the primary meanings and shades improve again, the
different opposite influence and relations, attitudes are understood among the expressed objects, acts
and qualities and they serve to generalize, and entirely it converts to the elements of semantic structure of the language.
The limits of meaning are determined as the whole language unit in the lexical-semantic system
of language, when the new meaning includes to the lexeme. While referring to the word only as a
name, the variety among its different meanings can’t be determined; it isn’t possible to determine the
signs and norms of constructive combinations, the ways of formation of new values inside the same
word without penetrating to the semantic bases of language system deeply. Sometimes it might not be
possible to determine the semantic borders completely; especially the terms have the limit meaning
and few transitional shades.
The meaning of word depends on the concrete lexical-synonymic relations, shades of meaning,
expressive and stylistic diversity with coincided words which conditioned by the rules of correspondence of meanings of the word belonging to this language in the expressed contexts. The semantic essence of word isn’t limited with the meanings belonged to it in the language system, mainly, it determines the directions in the related ranking of the values.
