THEORY OF SPEECH ACTIVITY: DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS
Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of the object and subject areas of the theory of speech activity (SAT) as a theory of domestic psycholinguistics. The purpose of the article is to reveal the internal potential of the SAT for its further development. Such opportunities are seen in the analysis of its objects, tools and approaches in the SAT. The analysis itself is preceded by a brief presentation of the methodology of domestic psycholinguistics, the originality of which is determined by the fact that it includes the general psychological theory of activity of A.N. Leontyev as a psychological theory. The analysis showed that growth points are in the area of the following problems of SAT. Opportunities for development are found primarily in the extension of research into the ontogeny of language beyond early childhood into middle childhood. It is advisable to expand research into the formation of the assignment of new fragments of the meaning of words throughout human life, especially during periods of professional training. The introduction of a multiple producer and recipient into the object area of psycholinguistics is of significant attractiveness. An attempt to introduce an analysis of the role of language in the process of human personality formation into the object domain of SAT can also be interpreted as promising. Psycholinguistic analysis of the subject meanings of words acquired during the teaching of secondary languages awaits its researchers. A new task for SAT is the reception of the theory of cultural conditioning of subjective experience, developed by V.I. Alexandrov. The general conclusion is that domestic psycholinguistics in the form of SAT has unrealized potential for its development.
