Changing the functions of language in the modern linguistic paradigm: Influence of virtual discourse

The modern linguistic paradigm in its conceptual and epistemological content represents a multi-subject system of directions united by a single methodological dominant of anthropocentrism. The priority of the anthropocentric projection in the description of the natural human language is due to the dialectic process of accumulation of linguistic knowledge, which predetermined a qualitatively new understanding of the ontology of the object under study. The principle of anthropocentrism determines the broad explanatory capabilities of modern linguistics in establishing constant units and categories mediated by the gnoseological unity of language and human. The study of the perception of verbal texts takes place within the framework of individual linguistic disciplines: text linguistics, grammar, stylistics, and psycholinguistics. However, most studies of speech messages are conducted in the context of the idealization of the object, that is, isolation from the specific situation in which the speech message is perceived. If we consider the actual functioning of a speech message, then almost always there will be a phenomenon of creolization of the verbal text. In reality, voice communication is a creolized text representing a fusion of verbal text and non-linguistic means, which include the extra-linguistic situation and paralinguistic means of oral and written speech.
