Linguistic interviewing as a productive method of studying linguistic consciousness (pedagogical aspect)

Abstract

The article describes some methods of linguistic interviewing that are used in research by scientists of the Russian Voronezh psycholinguistic school. An overview and analysis of such techniques as attribution of given signs to meaning, free attribution of signs to meaning, a method for supplementing a test phrase, a method for filling in a comparative construction and a method for directional commenting on word usage are presented. It is stated that the methods of linguistic interviewing allow us to build productive models of linguistic consciousness. The theoretical significance of the results obtained by using linguistic interviewing techniques lies in the acquisition of new scientific data on the real semantic structure of lexical items, which can be used in further studies of the nature and functions of linguistic units. The practical significance of the results lies in the fact that they can be used in the educational process, in business, politics, etc.
