LANGUAGE SUBJECT , SPEECH SUBJECT AND EGO-CATEGORY

Abstract

The concept subject in modern linguistics
is the polysemantic concept which has several interpretations.
Reliable criteria are necessary for differentiation
of the category within the statement. Revealing of a
category of the subject in speech should be carried out
from the perpsective of the structural-semantic direction
which supposes the multidimensional approach to the
analysis of linguistic unit. It is necessary to carry out
consecutive differentiation of meanings of the subject
in linguistics. It seems reasonable to name three major
meanings: the language subject, the speech subject
and an ego-category. In turn, the language subject has
subspecies: a subject-agens, the animated subject, the
subject of lexical orientation of a predicate, a subjecttheme
[5, 27]. Besides, subjectness of language as expression
in language of subject meaning is necessary
for distinguishing from subjectivity of speech in its selfcentred
meaning. The subjectivity of speech has its own
forms of expression in the language: subjectification,
topicalisation, isolation, an estimation.
