The book "Cognitive Paths into the Slavic Domain: Cognitive Linguistics Research [CLR] 38" is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of technology, the survival of humanity, and the unification of people in a warring state. The text presents an overview of recent cognitive linguistic research on Slavic languages, providing valuable insights into the structure and development of these languages. The book delves into various phenomena related to semantics, grammaticalization, language change, and the role of virtual entities in language, among other topics. It offers a comprehensive analysis of these issues using multiple cognitive linguistic frameworks, including cognitive grammar, mental space theory, construction grammar, frame semantics, and prototype semantics. The book begins by highlighting the importance of studying and understanding the process of technological evolution, particularly in the context of modern knowledge development. The author emphasizes the need for a personal paradigm that can help individuals perceive and adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape. This personal paradigm can serve as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The text argues that the ability to understand and navigate the complexities of technology is crucial for our collective future. The first chapter explores the semantics of grammatical case, tense, aspect, and voice, examining how these elements contribute to the rich inflectional morphology found in Slavic languages. The author discusses the significance of grammaticalization and language change, demonstrating how these processes shape the development of language over time.
