Abstract

The paper advances methodology of modeling cognitive processes of speaking-and-thinking and thinking-andacting mechanisms. The methodology is substantiated with the application of theoretical apparatus of a series of psychological, linguistic and social sciences using a systematic approach as well as a modern synergetic doctrine of the chaos theory. The basis of the authors’ methodological reflection is shaped by the results of the following scientific assumptions of the new speech energetics theory: a theoretical principle of preserving the utterance emotional-and-pragmatic potential, the dimensionless quantitative K-criterion of defining the level of emotionaland-pragmatic potential of any speech segment, the global pyramid model of the spheres of the individual’s spiritual being that allows performing both qualitative and quantitative research of any cognitive phenomena, processes or events related to human thinking and speaking activities. The paper also outlines the main stipulations, rules, and requirements for modeling cognitive processes on the plane of the individual’s spiritual being differentiated into the spheres of existence, mentality, transcendence and consciousness. It is emphasized that the flow of cognitive processes in the existential sphere of the individual’s spiritual being is based on his/her emotional (unconscious) thinking; the mental sphere, which forms together with the transcendental sphere a psychic level of the pre-conscious, is characterized by emotional thinking; in the transcendental sphere the acts of cognition are realized by means of rational thinking, while the consciousness monitors the results of cognitive processes’ self-development on a logical basis solely. The paper demonstrates a high efficiency of using the model as a methodological tool for the interdisciplinary retrospective obtaining of new knowledge in such sciences as cognitive studies, ecolinguistics, psychology, philosophy, sociology, psychiatry, history, economics, political science, literary studies, ethnology, etc.
