This study examines the transformation of the semantic status of the linguistic unit within connected speech. The analysis is conducted not only from a linguistic perspective but also within the frameworks of philosophy of language and phenomenology. The central premise of the article is that meaning is not a pre-given property of objective reality; rather, it emerges through the cognitive activity of the subject and is organized by means of language.
The analysis demonstrates that, in isolation, the word functions as a relatively autonomous nominative unit associated with discrete components of reality. However, within connected speech, this autonomy is disrupted: the meaning of the word loses its localized character and undergoes structural reconfiguration. It ceases to function as a self-sufficient bearer of meaning and becomes an element embedded within a system of relations.
Simultaneously, a redistribution of meaning takes place, whereby functional units that do not possess a clearly defined meaning in isolation assume a decisive role in the semantic organization of speech. This dual process results in an asymmetrical distribution of meaning and disrupts the presumed correspondence between meaning and its carriers.
In this article, the phenomenon is interpreted as linguistic absurdity in its strict sense, that is, as a rupture in the logical structure of meaning attribution. From a phenomenological perspective, it manifests as an experience in which meaning appears without stable localization, as a mobile and relationally distributed phenomenon.
It is argued that language cannot be regarded as a simple system of reflection of reality. Rather, it constitutes an autonomous constructive field in which meaning is formed not within individual units, but through the dynamic organization of relations between them.
