The article is created at the intersection of discourses of different eras and worldviews. The problem of language has been developed for more than one century. The transition to the phenomenology of language is due to the modern approach to world phenomena. Quantum theory and the theory of relativity have had a significant impact on the humanities. The brighter (more accessible, penetrating) the speculative construction is, the clearer the meaning is. In different eras, the clarity of language was considered differently. Logic proclaimed the stability of logical statements. They are inscribed in the tradition of literate speech. But, returning to speculation (Logos), the living word covers both the entire worldview, and a separate sentence, and a separate part of speech. The classical dichotomies of subjective/objective, ideal/material cannot cover the diversity of human states of consciousness and their expression in speech. Speech norms are devalued. The living word is replaced by information — a message. The ontological turn signifies the aspiration of philosophy to include man in the real world and the diversity of connections and relations in it. The phenomenology of language reveals a ready intention to be an expression of the mental content in the formation of cultural consciousness (G.G. Shpet). At first, the initial prerequisites of a specific meaning are reduced, then thinking returns back to the experience of the diversity of relations of the inner life of consciousness.
