Russian Word Cognitive Psychological Processes

Language is an important tool to communicate with each other for human beings, but vocabulary is also the most important factor in a language, so it is essential to master the vocabulary for a study of foreign language. In recent years, we have found that along with the development and the extensive application of modern cognitive science in the linguistics, we have entered a completely field—the cognition of word for the investigation on vocabulary in a foreign language, which also inaugurates a new visual angle for the research of Russian vocabulary. The investigation on cognition of word is based on many subjects: first, word belongs to the category of linguistic research, so it needs linguistics and the theory of corresponding subjects as a foundation; secondly, cognition is a kind of psychological nomenclature, but the cognition of word is a psychological process, so we ought to depend on the theory of psychology; lastly, the psychological linguistics, which combines linguistics with psychology, carries on an in-depth study for word and the corresponding psychological process of cognition through the investigation of psychological process on linguistic cognition, as a logical starting point and investigative angle of view. The thesis is to analyze and discuss the cognition of word on theoretical foundation, psychological process and strategy, making Russian as the language background and using a series of method such as contrastive analysis, according to the theories of linguistics, psychology and psychological linguistics.The thesis is divided into four parts to be demonstrated:The first part: introduction. In this part, there are the aim, significance, content and method of the research about the cognition of word to be introduced.The second part: the theoretical foundation on Russian vocabulary and the estimation of concept on word. According to the theory of linguistics and psychology, the thesis is to discuss the theoretical foundation of cognition of word and to estimate the concept of Russian vocabulary from the theory of information polishing and psychological vocabulary on psychology, and the theory of semantics on linguistics and vocabulary background on linguistic national conditions.The third part: the analysis on the psychological process of word cognition. This is the main part in the thesis, which depends on the theory of information polishing. The thesis considers that first, the information of Russian vocabulary is remembered selectively in a short time; next, it will be polished in a short memory; and then, the meaning of a word is checked, organized and stored in a long time, improved and perfected continuously; at last, the word is chosen and picked up quickly and exactly during communication. The thesis will carry on analysis for the four steps.
