The role of language and speech and their interrelation in the communication process

this study is devoted to an in-depth study of the role of speech and language in the process of communication between people. In this work, the concepts of “language” and “speech” are consistently distinguished, and the key properties and functions of these concepts are determined. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the dialectical relationship between language as a system and speech as an activity: language is a kind of tool for communication, and speech saturates and edits language through the practice of its use. The theoretical basis of the research consists of modern and classical concepts of Russian and foreign linguistics. In particular, the work is based on the theories developed by F. de Saussure, the theory of W. Von Humboldt, as well as materials from the field of psycholinguistics (Leontiev A.A.) and functional stylistics (Kozhina M.N.). The results of the work can be applied in the field of language learning and teaching, rhetoric, intercultural communication and the development of language technologies.
