Н. Я. МАРР И ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНЫЙ ПРАГМАТИЗМ: ОПЫТ СОПОСТАВИТЕЛЬНОГО МЕТОДОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО АНАЛИЗА. ЧАСТЬ II
MARR AND FUNCTIONAL PRAGMATICS: THE RESULT OF COMPARATIVE METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. PART II

Summary/Abstract: This is the second part of the article which discusses functional pragmatic methodological key issues of linguistic philosophical conception proposed by Marr. First of all, it focuses on the problems of philogenesis and ontological essence of language activities. The article analyzes the problems of the relation between language and thinking activities (non verbal thinking), language and culture (“extralinguistic character of language”), genesis of signal side of semiotic activity (“manual thinking”), as well as problems of functional and psychosocial character of language (understanding meaning as a function and understanding language as an informative activity). On the basis of the conformed methodological analysis, there is a hypothesis saying that Marr’s theories offer eclectic and linguistic philosophical attitude but they are not of scientific character. The article attempts at denying the widely spread myth of vulgar materialistic philosophical underpinning of Marr’s conception (particularly, Marr’s understanding the “ideological character of language”) and distinguishing the relation of the theory with objective idealism (Leibnitz, Humboldt) and partly with neo Kantism (Cassirer).
