The Concept of Cognitive Space — •Olena Dobrovolska — Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics, Kharkiv, Ukraine

Cognitive space, as the concept of cognitive science, is in the point of intersection of different fields of research: philosophy, linguistics, psychology, anthropology. Despite light discrepancy of its definitions given by different researchers it has one constant base: it is "space" - the traditional subject of philosophical research. Either it is "the set of concepts and relations among them held by a human" (Newby) or "an association of any number of actors bound by a certain shared cognitive element" (Peverelli), it has to have some dimensions, bounds, it has to do with ontology (because it contains some concepts or elements that exist or don't exist) and it has to evolve, to be measured and to be presented. The questions are: Which theory of space can be applicable to cognitive space? Is it absolute or relative? What kind of existence can be applicable to it: is it real, virtual or mental space? Since it is human-dependent, how can different cognitive spaces exist, co-exist, intersect each other? How can it be conceptualised, presented and expanded on human-machine interaction?
