Abstract

Linguo-cognitive modeling is examined as a universal method for studying and organizing professional communication, particularly in the field of medicine. The paper explores how cognitive structures such as frames, metaphors, and categorization systems shape professional reasoning and are verbalized in medical discourse. It is argued that language serves as both a tool and a product of cognition, transforming abstract mental processes into communicative forms. Within medical communication, linguo-cognitive modeling reveals how conceptual systems — for example, disease–symptom–diagnosis–treatment–outcome — structure diagnostic reasoning and interaction. The article emphasizes the pedagogical significance of this method in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching, where understanding cognitive mechanisms is essential for forming clinical foreign-language thinking. The study concludes that linguo-cognitive modeling contributes to integrating knowledge, language, and practice, enabling the development of linguistic and cognitive competence necessary for effective professional communication in medical contexts.

Keywords

linguo-cognitive modeling, cognitive linguistics, medical discourse, professional communication, ESP, conceptual metaphor, frame analysis, clinical reasoning, medical education, cognitive competence.
