The Verbal Thinking Activity Of The Linguistic Identety In Digitalization Space

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the specificity of the verbal thinking activity of a linguistic personality, the significance of which becomes especially important under the conditions of global digitalization. Based on the works of Russian and foreign scholars, the authors build a methodology of verbal thinking activity, touching upon both theoretical and practical issues, considering language in one case from the position of a reflex and in another case from the position of reflexion, and come to the following conclusion. On the one hand, language is immanent to a self-organizing natural device functioning under the sign of an individual information system. On the other hand, language appears as an activity (verbal thinking activity) of a linguist to organize an individual information system into a conceptual system. If an individual information system is initially given, then a conceptual system is always created by each concrete person, being a unity of the given and created. Referring to the text of Holy Scripture and referring to the visual poetry of I. Rukavishnikov, the authors demonstrate how the process of verbal thinking activity of a linguistic personality is formed as a transition from the individual information system of language to language as an integral part of the conceptual system. Among the basic methods contributing to the actualization of verbal thinking activity, the authors name methods of decoding and coding of verbal and non-verbal elements of the individual information system.
