It focuses on identifying key features, including cognitive dimensions, linguistic verbalization, and cultural/historical references. Addressing challenges in defining word meanings, the study emphasizes the adaptability of survey methods, guided by insights from a comprehensive literature review highlighting the pivotal role of empirical research in unveiling linguistic data and understanding language use and cognition. The paper methodically describes participant selection, data collection, and the design of empirical research instruments. The data analysis combines quantitative analysis via Google Forms for closed questions and qualitative content analysis for open-ended questions, resulting in a nuanced understanding of participants' responses and contributing to a holistic exploration of defined linguistic notions.enlinguistic notionslinguistic unitssurvey methodsempirical explorationconference materialsConference materials
