Psychological Justification of Using Authentic Fund of English Language by the Teachers at Secondary Schools
Abstract
The psycholinguistic analysis of English proverbs and sayings with the component of «human activities» is made in the article. It is determined that existential phenomenology corresponds to a functional-communicative, cognitive and anthropogenic paradigm of the research of these lexical units of the English language. The latter one generates a series of psycho-linguistically predetermined processes. The first process is actualization of the reader’s intuition as a kind of «presence» of the essence of the object having been studied in a mind of a subject, «without ideological», «self-serving» presentation, due to intentional contemplation and understanding of its eidos. It was indicated that that moment, in turn, was largely due to the authenticity of the materials having been studied. The second process is a peculiar «subjectivization» of lexical material having been studied, when the reader seems to «reduce» himself / herself implicitly, his / her essence, his / her personal meaning in the language. The latter one allows the reader to «stay» in a paradigm of a language, «passing through brackets» only priori judgments about a particular object of the research. It was indicated that it contributed to reduce the «distance» between the image of the reader’s world and the meaning that was embodied in a particular proverb or saying. It was shown that the latter, in turn, greatly facilitated the reproduction of the subject-object unity between the image of the reader’s world according to absorbed material that deepened the mental picture of the subject’s world. The third process is authentic intersubjectivity, which can be interpreted as a peculiar basis of the personality, the basis of human existence in the world, the existence of the society, etc. It was shown that the authentic material created positive conditions for the existence of so-called «egocentric particles», which each person, after mastering, applied in his / her own language. It was indicated that such «egocentric particles» included discursive words, the research of which was maximally productive in the study of proverbs and sayings. Consequently, authentic intersubjectivity greatly stimulates the study of a real process of functioning of a language from the point of view of the subject of communication.The fourth process is the authentic intentionality as the essence of consciousness, its orientation to a particular object of the research. It was substantiated that the authentic intentionality is the property of the consciousness of the person, by means of which its states are characterized as some structures which are containing content, authentic information that is beyond the consciousness of a man, in the paradigm of a mental space of the Universe
