Key words: existential concept, personality, consciousness, subjectivity, method of color choices, subjective basis of speech activity.
Theoretical research on the problems of the individual in the discovery of its internal content, provide treatment researchers to the experience of a man, his/her existential essence as different manifestations of inner speech activity. The purpose of the article is to determine the subject basis of speech activity of an individual as a continuous mental support of his/her personality. There are aspects of the internal speech of the individual with the indication of his/her own lexical-semantic system that contains in its most General form a semantic unity specific, subject-specific symbolic, social environment.
With reference to the author’s model of the structure of consciousness, it is argued that existential concepts exist in the form of subjective appeal to the content of the relevant situation. Their generalized nature indicates the presence in them of personally significant features that determine the features of subjective rationality. It provides influence on the existential concepts of past experiences, conceptual structures, translation of the communication parties in the private space of subjective reality, creating its own semantic field. The sign of incompleteness of being is seen in the existential concepts, which brings them closer to the concept of existence. Considering the continuum of significant events as the semantic canvas of its existence in a certain period of time, it is possible to obtain information about its subjective rationality of a person with its inherent existential content. It is argued that the existential concepts are the internal "chronicle" of a man, which reflects his/her subjective being, existing at the intersection of the desired and the actual. On the example of establishing a certain correspondence between the sound and color associations of a literary work and the stimulus material of the Lusher test, the possibility of using color preferences for evaluating the psychological characteristics of its author is argued. The general conclusion about the existential concepts as about the experience of the continuum of one’s own existence is formulated.
