This book applies phenomenological methodology to examine the transformations of messages as
they pass from the mind to the linear world of human speech and then back again. Rapid
development of linguistic science in the second half of the 20th century and cognitive science
in the beginning of the 21st century has brought us through various stages of natural human
language analysis and comprehension - from deep structures transformational grammar and
behaviorism to cognitive linguistics theory of encapsulation and mentalism. Thus drawing
upon new developments in cognitive science philosophy and hermeneutics the author reveals how
to obtain the real vision of life lurking behind the spoken word. Applying methodology
introduced by Edmund Husserl and developed by Martin Heidegger the author examines how we can
see the 'living' and dynamic essence of speech hidden in the world of linear linguistic strings
and casual utterances. This uniquely researched work will be a valuable resource for students
and scholars of cognitive stylistics pragmatics and the psychology of language.
