Abstract

This article explores the theoretical foundations of evaluative categories in cognitive linguistics, with a focus on metaphor, frame, and prototype mechanisms. It highlights how artificial intelligence, particularly natural language processing tools, enhances our ability to analyze and simulate these cognitive processes. By integrating AI-assisted methods, researchers can uncover patterns in evaluative language across large corpora, revealing how language shapes social values and ideologies.
