The External Structure of the Personality Speech Experience Organization

Abstract

The article deals with the empirical study of structural and functional peculiarities of the personality’s speech experience external structure. The suggested theoretical concept views speech experience as a system, which is a product of pro­cessing and ordering of the results of interaction between personality and environment in a speech form, enabling and mediating speech mastering of the world. Two levels of the speech mastering of the world determine two respective structures – internal and external. The results of the factor analysis of the indicators of the speech experience external structure show that two age groups – primary school age children and emerging adulthood children allow defining the dynamics of the external structure development in two age groups through basic meaning and interpretation of obtained factors. Mediation of speech mastering of the world (which is the main function of the external structure) is made through interpretation of the results and the process of speech interaction, and, according to them, the regulation of individual’s commu­nication with the world on the basis of the adequate selection of tools for processing and organizing linguistic and speech knowledge. Development occurs due to the process of integration – combining separate parts together. In this case, the parts are not mechanically fused to one another, but are dialectically changed, acquiring new quality. Generalization of separate parts causes the emergence  of three factors in adulthood, which show a clear focus on the mediation of the personality’s speech mastering of the world.
