Given the position of the scientist A.A. Leontiev, who claims, criticizing the
"individual-psychic" approach to speech : «Such an approach could be abandoned

only if we offer a different idea of the communication process, which is more in
line with our current knowledge of nature and the concrete facts of the speech

process. Such idea is the "active" representation of global "speech" as a kind of
activity, or rather, speech activity. » From this point of view, the chain that we

considered, should be complemented by another important link that corresponds to

speech activity – those difficult linguistic and psychic mechanisms that govern

individual intellectual-speech acts.

It should be noted that this chain can be viewed in one direction (from the

language and consciousness - through the middle links - to the text) for only to

explain the emergence of a particular text. In this case, the language is somewhat

primary, something that precedes a thinking and a speech, and hence text.

Thus, it is important to consider the semantic properties of the message not

apart, but in a close connection with those real psychological and speech

mechanisms that accompany the creation and social functioning of texts. The

message goes to the editor and further to the links of mass information processes -

this is a complex synthesis, where the "logical" never exists in its pure form and

therefore constantly needs correction.

In terms of logic, the text represents a system of statements that must meet

the requirements of truth and correctness. The concept of truth characterizes

primarily judgments and thoughts, and the concept of correctness - the relationship

between thoughts in the form of reasoning. The reasoning is a comparison of

thoughts, linking them for appropriate conclusions.

The correct reasoning is the reasoning, in which some thoughts

(conclusions) necessarily follow from other thoughts. The typical text is usually

composed of three parts: the introduction (the section where the thesis is

formulated), the main part (the section where the arguments are given) and the

results ( the section where the conclusions are given). As we see, the text has a

logical inference structure. It means that he must obey logical laws and rules. To
