O THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THEORY

TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THEORY
OF ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLINGUISTICS

The article presents an attempt to clarify the methodological grounds for the formation of a theory of organizational psycholinguistics (TOPL), based on A.N Leontiev’s general psychological activity theory and A.A. Leontiev’s theory of speech activity. TOPL explains verbal communication in professional collectives, where interlocutors possess a similar level of professional competence and intensively use hypertexts containing actual texts and pretexts, which are kept only in a recipient’s mind, fixing working instructions, directions, orders etc. The ontology of interaction of professionals (determined by A.N Leontiev’s activity theory) is a professional cooperative activity per se, i.e. the temporal and spatial structure of reality takes the form of PCA.

TOPL forms the professional worldview, describing the obligatory knowledge of employees cooperating in a certain professional sphere. PCA has specific features: the objectives and motivations of the PSA are relatively stable, as well as professional technologies, speech communication is usually based on special precedent texts (rules, regulations, instructions), and speech actions of PCA participants include professional terminology systems. It can be assumed that the described methodology makes it possible to form a TOPL.

Keywords: organizational psycholinguistics, cooperative activity, professional collectives, professional worldview.
