THE PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONTENT OF VALUES IN LINGUISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

Studying and analyzing the content of values in linguistic consciousness with the help of linguistic and psycholinguistic methods are interesting in terms of applying investigation techniques borrowed from Philosophy and Sociology. That is about the so-called triangulation approach or integrative eclecticism that gives an opportunity to analyze the phenomenon from different angles with a special concern about dynamic systems. The speech activity of a person is dynamic that is why while analyzing speech objectivations by means of the method mentioned above a researcher is guaranteed an opportunity to explore a phenomenon with an unbiased eye. This approach allows to overcome a certain prejudice and the right to claim only the researcher’s points of view and preferences to be true. In the article the interconnection between language and consciousness is analyzed but the accent is made on the fact that consciousness is an instrument to not only reflect reality and regulate human actions and relationships, but that is also a tool to evaluate and judge real objects and phenomena. Linguistic consciousness is a value-oriented consciousness. The variability of the content of the images of values is revealed by means of complementary psycholinguistc methods. The conceptions about values are described and compared at official public, intermediate and ordinary levels of linguistic consciousness.
