metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper focuses on English articles which are treated as the main means of definite/indefinite
  reference; and defines cognitive principles which govern usage of articles. Research
  methodology relies on the theory of classes, its explanatory potential is analyzed as regards
  the meaning and usage of the indefinite article as well as the word order in the attributive
  group which features more than one attribute. The research also relies on the frame approach
  which governs the usage of the definite article. The frame is treated in terms of the
  non-random link (binding, bond) between the object referred to and the frame, the frame
  approach being also instrumental in defining metonymical transfers. Definiteness is defined
  by the author as the result of the speaker’s cognitive operation to assign the object some
  “unique” — under given circumstances — features which distinguish it from other objects
  (of the same class of objects). Such distinction is performed by a variety of linguistic means,
  such as anaphora, restrictive post-modifying attributes (cataphora), using cardinal numbers,
  superlative-degree adjectives, and using triggers (words or general context, in other
  words, a frame) which oblige the speaker to refer to the inalienable element of the frame,
  which is a singular object in the frame, with the definite article, without any prior mentioning
  it, or any other above modifier.
