PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF PHYSICAL EXISTENCE OF A HUMAN AS A SUBJECT OF INTERACTION WITH THE ENVIRONMENT: THE METAPHORICAL MODEL

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the use of metaphor as a diagnostic tool of psychophysiological maladjustment of the human in the interaction with the environment. The subject of the study was to develop and test metaphorical model of diagnostic the features of adaptation to different levels of protection (spatial, social, information, etc.). The aim of the study was to establish the relationship in frequency of usage of the metaphors that reflect the stress index of somatic (musculoskeletal) and autonomic (cardio – vascular, digestive, etc.) systems of the body in healthy and diseased subjects. At the beginning of the study it was assumed that the objective state of the organism can be found in the subjective space of bodily semantics. This detection is possible through the analysis of the most frequently used metaphors which subject uses: "do not give a breath", "pull yourself together", "fed up", etc. Subjects were offered six groups of metaphors (20 in each group), reflecting the index the tension of motor, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, skin, and immune systems. Analysis of the relationship of the systems of the body found out high correlations: digestive and skin, digestive and immune, cardiovascular and immune systems. Comparative analysis of volume and content of metaphors in groups of patients and healthy subjects led to the conclusion that the volume of the vocabulary of sick patients, significantly higher than the volume of phrasebook of healthy patients. Furthermore, it was revealed that the subjects with the disease of one of the systems most frequently use in their own speech metaphors reflecting the intensity of the given system. The results can be used in experimental psycholinguistics, psychosemantics as well as in psychological practice. They will enable more effective implementation of sociopsychological prevention of disorders of the systems of the body, as well as the rehabilitation of persons suffering from psychosomatic illnesses.
