Abstract
It has been made clear that Woolf has dealt with particular personal issues that are closely related to woman’s life and character. Her major views, which mostly concern the rights of woman have been revealed throughout her writings. This thesis develops a cognitive linguistic approach to Feminist Language. The cognitive approach differs from traditional linguistic approaches in that linguistic description is seen as an integral part of the description of cognition, and that the object of description is the nature of conceptual structures, the processes which relate these conceptual structures, and the effect of context upon these processes. The linguistic representation of conceptual structure is the central concern of the two-to-three decade’s old field that has come to be known as ”cognitive linguistics”. This approach is concerned with the patterns in which processes of a conceptual content is organized in language. It addresses the linguistic structuring of such basic conceptual categories as space and time, scenes and events, entities and processes, motion and location, and force and causation. To these it adds the basic ideational and affective categories attributed to cognitive agents, such as attention and perspective, volition and intention, and expectation and affect. It addresses the semantic structure of morphological and lexical forms, as well as of syntactic patterns. Moreover it addresses the interrelationships of conceptual structures, such as those in metaphorical mapping, those within a semantic frame, those between text and context, and those in the grouping of conceptual categories into large structuring systems. Overall, its aim is to ascertain the globally integrated system of conceptual structuring in language.
