ABOUT THE BOOK

Phenomenological research focuses on how people use language and how it impacts their social and cultural interactions. It is the study of how people use language to build communities, exchange ideas, negotiate power structures, define themselves, and shape their social environments. It further aims to shed light on how humans communicate in everyday life and in the social realm. Using a phenomenological stance, scholars in this area investigate the underlying assumptions and implicit meanings that inform our language usage and, by extension, our worldview.

The core of the proposed book’s research focused on language use itself. Phenomenology is a methodological umbrella that introduces philosophy’s point of view into the world of language, allowing the human experience to be heard. The volume will eventually concentrate on the semio-pragmatic application, which is probably the best approach moving forward to comprehend the relationship between formal and phenomenological language comprehension assessment. This will make it even more motivating to think about how the idea of hybridity is necessary for linguistic analysis. If language is to be believed, it serves as a platform for negotiations between the mind and society. Therefore, the majority of science today suggests that language is made up of rules that are consciously formed and symbols that society accepts. The likelihood of language as well-formed representations is predicted as a subject’s innate affair. As a result, language as a body is unquestionably real.

The current work will attempt to grasp the language as a real entity in terms of the hearer’s perspective if the hearer is to be considered an antithetical other of self, which will further lead us to understand one of those three questions, i.e., how language or linguistic knowledge is put to use? (Chomsky 1986). Despite the fact that formal theories are proposed to address the very nature of linguistic knowledge, not much study has been conducted on this specific issue.

This proposed volume will include human communication at different levels of cognition to show how theory can be used in a semio-pragmatic sphere. The theory includes language comprehension and cognition, interpersonal relations, context communications, and performance orientation.
