Abstract

The main meaning of the noun is presented in the article in the form of an ontoconcept – a hierarchy of three “age” concepts that are consistently formed in a child during his development. The process of formation of a specific ontoconcept CHAIR is considered in detail. At first (in 2–3 years), the child has the concept of HOLISTIC CHAIR, which represents the chair as an integral object and is used by the child in solving simple practical tasks related to the use of the chair for its intended purpose. Then a junior student develops the concept of SYSTEM CHAIR (a chair as a system of parts) from a holistic concept, which together with it forms a two-level ontoconcept of HOLISTIC CHAIR → SYSTEM CHAIR. Thanks to the system concept, a junior student can now solve more complex, technical tasks (repair a chair, assemble it from parts, etc.). Finally, a senior student forms FUNCTIONAL CHAIR (a system of functions of the referent’s parts) from a system concept, which joins a two-level ontoconcept and turns it into a three-level:

HOLISTIC CHAIR → SYSTEM CHAIR → FUNCTIONAL CHAIR.

Now the senior student can abstract from the appearance of the chair and use only its function: to form new seats by placing a stack of bricks against the wall and under, to see the seats in the bend of the tree trunk, in the step of the stairs, etc. Thus, this and other ontoconcepts serve as the basis for the realization of three relatively independent types of verbal thinking in humans: practical, technical and theoretical.
