  • Conference paper
Recent Trends in Theoretical Psychology

Part of the book series: Recent Research in Psychology ((PSYCHOLOGY))

Summary

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.
