METAPHYSICS OF SPEECH COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The article deals with the construction of a methodology for the theoretical analysis of speech communication (SC). The article analyzes theoretical reductions of the speech communication model, which are considered an obstacle to an adequate study of SC. The program of a non-reductionist approach to the analysis of SC includes the requirement 1. to consider speech as speech actions aimed at organizing both SC and joint activities (JA); 2. to distinguish images of consciousness from their verbal models; 3. to see the semantic perception of speech as the construction of the speech message content by the recipient from his/her knowledge; 4. to allow the existence of speech only in the processes of its production and reception, assuming that outside these processes, the speech content exists as a certain set of images of communicants’ consciousness; 5. to introduce both single and multiple communicants in to the SC objectarea.
