Mythology of consciousness: Verbalization and interpretation (OPEN ACCESS)

Abstract

The article focuses on representation of reality by consciousness, not in a logical, rational form, but in an intuitive one, when the language sign is represented through its perception by representatives of a certain culture, through its symbolic significance. The word Abracadabra, a semantically complex sign with an axiological function, is chosen as the subject of linguistic inquiry. It is demonstrated that it has not lost its inherent magical function in the modern culture.

Keywords
