Abstract
This article analyzes the evolution of linguists' views on the psycholinguistic nature of the grammatical structure of language, in particular the word-formation system, from single observations and individual thoughts of scientists to specialized studies of monograph and dissertation level. The question of singling out grammar, including word-formation, as a self-sufficient object of research in the context of the formation of psycholinguistics as an autonomous scientific branch is considered. Attention is drawn to the fact that Ukrainian academic community is less interested in psycholinguistic aspects of word-creation of an individual than their foreign colleagues. The problem of analysis of word-formation innovations from the point of view of modern psycholinguistic concepts is touched upon. A special interest of psycholinguists to consider children's speech word-creation, as well as derivational features of an individual's speech during ontogenesis is highlighted. Mention is made of the empirical side of considering word-formation as a complex psycholinguistic process of verbal unit generation and reception. It is indicated on the remarkable promise and importance of this scientific field for further research, especially in the aspect of expanding the theoretical and methodological basis for further empirical study and description of the psycholinguistic nature of wordsmithing.
Highlights
The rapid development of innovative technologies and, above all, the intellectual globalization of the world pose a serious challenge to the identity and historical normalization of existing sign systems
In this context the relevance of our work is caused by the foremost specificity of the object itself – the psycholinguistic nature of derivation, as well as the necessity to understand the level of elaboration of the problems, the level of the development of problems related to the psycholinguistic dimension of word-processes, representatives of academic schools in different countries and the need to identify discursive moments and gaps in the study of the subject matter
Considering the above, the article's aim is to establish the evolution of linguistic theories of word-formation from the sporadic attempts of scholars to establish the link between thinking, the main goal of the study was to establish the link between thinking and speech and the grammatical structure of the language to the comprehensive studies of derivation as a mirror image of the total mental processes of the individual's brain activity
Summary
The rapid development of innovative technologies and, above all, the intellectual globalization of the world pose a serious challenge to the identity and historical normalization of existing sign systems. Today the attempts of domestic and foreign representatives of the scientific community to understand, first, the psychological mechanisms of creation and implementation of derivative expressions of the national language become of great importance, secondly, to explain the nature of formation and production of models and forms at the level of an individual medium, and thirdly, to describe the processes of reception and interpretation as the essential elements of people's mental activity In this context the relevance of our work is caused by the foremost specificity of the object itself – the psycholinguistic nature of derivation, as well as the necessity to understand the level of elaboration of the problems, the level of the development of problems related to the psycholinguistic dimension of word-processes, representatives of academic schools in different countries and the need to identify discursive moments and gaps in the study of the subject matter. Considering the above, the article's aim is to establish the evolution of linguistic theories of word-formation from the sporadic attempts of scholars to establish the link between thinking, the main goal of the study was to establish the link between thinking and speech and the grammatical structure of the language to the comprehensive studies of derivation as a mirror image of the total mental processes of the individual's brain activity
