EMPIRICAL VALIDATION OF THE DYNAMIC INTEGRATIVE CONTINUUM MODEL IN THE PSYCHOLINGUISTIC DECODING OF HIDDEN INTENTION

Abstract

The present study investigates the empirical applicability of the Dynamic Integrative Continuum Model (DICM) in the psycholinguistic decoding of hidden intention within authentic discourse interaction. Existing approaches to implicit meaning frequently remain analytically fragmented because they examine cognitive, psycholinguistic, pragmatic, and discourse-level mechanisms separately rather than as interconnected components of communicative interaction. In response to this limitation, the study proposes an integrative analytical framework capable of systematically tracing communicative intention across multiple communicative dimensions. The research applies the DICM framework to discourse fragments characterized by indirectness, ambiguity, evaluative positioning, contextual implication, inferential incompleteness, and strategic communicative modulation. The findings demonstrate that hidden intention emerges through interaction between cognitive anticipation, psycholinguistic filtering, pragmatic modulation, and discourse organization. The study confirms that communicative meaning cannot be accurately reconstructed through isolated linguistic indicators alone. The proposed framework contributes to psycholinguistics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis by establishing a multidimensional methodology for interpreting implicit meaning within authentic communicative interaction.
