Linguistic representation refers to the theoretical construct by which linguistic knowledge, structures, or meanings are encoded and organized within a system of language description or cognitive processing. It concerns the formal or mental encoding of linguistic units, including their structural properties, relations, and interpretive features, that enable the analysis of how language is represented in linguistic theory and models of language cognition ^[1]. In linguistic analysis, representations may consist of abstract symbolic structures that model phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, or discourse-level information rather than directly observable linguistic forms ^[2]. Within cognitive approaches to language, linguistic representation denotes the internal organization of linguistic information that supports language comprehension and production, while remaining distinct from the physical realization of speech or written language itself ^[3].
