Аннотация

Associative analysis methods in linguistics explore the mental connections between words and concepts within a language. These methods reveal underlying cognitive structures, cultural values, and semantic networks, providing insight into how language users organize knowledge and meaning. This paper reviews key associative analysis techniques, including free association, paired-association, word association tests, and computational modeling. Applications of these methods span psycholinguistics, cultural linguistics, language acquisition, and translation studies. The study highlights the strengths and limitations of each method and discusses their role in uncovering both universal and culture-specific linguistic patterns.
