Review of the collective monograph “The Metalanguage of cognitive linguistics (revisiting complex self-developing systems)” by S.N. Bredikhin, M.V. Kamensky, G.N. Manaenko, et al. (Stavropol: North Caucasus Federal University, 2024)

The monograph is a comprehensive study of the means of metalinguistic description in cognitive linguistics. The cornerstone of building a holistic metalinguistic system of the transdisciplinary field of cognitive linguistics is the continuity of cognition and its verbalization in a single hermeneutic circle, in which each subsequent step of phenomenological reflection brings to life a modification of the structure and system. On the basis of hermeneutic and noematic, discursive and modus, as well as dialectical and relational analysis, the generalized contents of the most complex units of concepts explication within the considered direction of linguistic science are objectified. The monograph may be applicable in studying basic mechanisms of creation, replenishment and conventionalization of open metalanguage systems of linguistic description.
