Cognition-Emotion-Volition. Fritz Hermanns’ contribution to linguistic discourse analysisThe article discusses Hermanns’ three-dimensional concept of meaning. According to this concept, based on Bühler`s model of signs, meaning exhibits cognitive, emotive and volitive, i.e. deontic components. Lexical meanings have to be determined by means of linguistic discourse analysis since they are conceived as the cognitions, emotions and volitions of social groups, i.e. as mutual knowledge and the expression of a collective mentality.
