The author focuses on the experience of the thought-speech activity of the subject. Its consideration is carried out through the prism of such areas of humanitarian science as the philosophy of language, ontology, psychology, cultural studies, and art history. The necessity for interdisciplinary approach is explained by the fact that the comprehension of the essence of thought-speech activity within any science impoverishes the notion of thinking culture and speech culture of a subject involved in interaction with himself and with other people. In this context, as the basic category, the author determines the individual conceptual system of the subject of speech, the dual character of which is recognized, on the one hand, at the level of an expedient, automatically triggered by the nature of the information process, realized through interpretation and representing the experience of self-organization of the system; on the other hand, level of an individual conceptual system organization as a purely human activity (thought activity), realized through reinterpretation. If in the first case nature pre-mines over man, as a result of which life is subordinated to the satisfaction of natural reflexes (instincts), in the second case there is a reflection providing the subject of thought-speech activity with freedom over natural instincts. It is asserted that in the second case, the consciousness acts as a true regulator of the life of a linguistic personality.
