https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-712X-2016-2-18-25

Abstract

The paper treats the problem of correlation of consciousness and mentality as, on the one hand, a whole set of intellectual processes working up various perceptions and determining the orientation of a personality in the surrounding reality, and on the other hand, mentality is regarded as the assessing part of consciousness. We put forward a principle concerning two functional spheres of language: firstly, the system of nominations, and secondly, a system of predicative conversion of nominations. Within the framework of interaction between these spheres three types of semantics have been distinguished according to the degree of logical strictness: of common type, of non-rigorous notional type, of rigorous notional type. The idea of meneme is presented and the notion is defined as a mentality element of culture. Its role in the formation of the ideological core of personality is demonstrated.
