The Notion of Size From Psychological, Cognitive, and Linguistic Points of View

The author summarizes various aspects of size in languages with different structures, highlighting the understanding of size by psychologists and linguists. A cognitive approach to the notion of size shows its connection with information processing channels, namely the channel of vision. The variety of ways of naming the size depends on the type of medicinal plant (herbaceous or shrub) and the layer of the vocabulary – literary vs. common. The results of the research can be useful for lexicologists, specialists in cognitive linguistics, and culture studies.
