The speaker told about G.P.Melnikov's researches and works. ‘Unlike his predecessors, Gennady Melnikov proceeds from the communicative conditionality of the internal determinant of language. Language is, first of all, a communicative device, not an instrument of thinking. G.Melnikov said that you will never dissolve even when you are transferred to another culture, and you will not become different. Thinking in homo sapiens is universal, otherwise we would not have the ability to understand each other. We are one species. You cannot identify thinking in general with linguistic thinking in particular.’
