The main focus of cognitive linguistics is to study the mechanisms of world perception through linguistic consciousness. Following conceptualisation, there is a process of categorisation, which helps to understand how we perceive the surrounding reality and how we store and apply the received information in various forms. The diversity of cognitive processes, often associated with human interpretation of the world, allows us to speak about the necessity to distinguish the interpretive function of language.
