Ways of transferring mental lexicon

Abstract

The current mainstream position in the field of general linguistics is to consider the issue
of the mental lexicon alongside the concept of language. One of the main reasons for this is that the past and present situations of language-using individuals are closely intertwined with mental individuality.
The verbal-semantic, cognitive, as well as pragmatic ways of retaining words in human consciousness and obtaining information about the formation of a person’s linguistic vocabulary and the peculiarities of its development are considered in detail. Concepts such as the reproduction of a word by a person, its acceptance from another person, understanding, and the retention of moral units in consciousness are explained.
This article comprehensively reviews the stages of formation and development in psycholinguistics before the emergence of the mental lexicon issue. It describes their relevance in modern society, guided
by an analysis of conclusively stated findings about the mental lexicon. The focus is also on the research conducted by several world-renowned scientists in the field of mental lexicon, defining its role in Kazakh
linguistics. Drawing on the analysis of previous works and research in this direction, our study summarizes a new aspect of the mental lexicon - the formation of children’s speech in elementary school.
