Meaning horizon, paraphrase, and phenomenological investigations in psychology

Donald Kuiken T. Cameron Wild

pp. 189-198

Abstract

The integration of recent developments in philosophical phenomenology with those in discourse analysis may contribute to clarification of phenomenological methods in psychology. We argue that (1) the phenomenological analysis of implicit (horizonal) meanings enables precise identification of paraphrasing statements within discourse, (2) paraphrasing statements within discourse form natural, hierarchically arranged meaning units, and (3) the relations between such meaning units, although largely implicit, correspond to the structure of subjectivity.
