Abstract
The study represents the cognitive analysis of economic activities in the general view, which is implemented on the basis of a cognitive scenario. The scenario approach to the conceptualization of economic sphere was chosen with the aim of finding its static and dynamic elements, and analysis of those relations and interactions that occur between participants and the cognitive components of the scenario. The theoretical and methodological basis of this research is the theory of cognitive metaphor, and the creation and description of the specific cognitive models, that is the most perspective direction of development of cognitive linguistics at the present stage, as it promotes the study of national specifics of the world picture, a comparative study of survey data, and for creating cognitive models that predict the development of a particular sphere of human activity. The result of this research is to create cognitive scenarios of economic activities based on a corpus of English texts of economic subject, as well as the finding of the static and dynamic elements of this cognitive model. In addition, the elements of this cognitive scenario that set in motion all the process of economic activities were elicited.
