interrelated speech acts aimed at achieving the same goal. Speech  activity  is divided into reading, writing, speaking, translation, etc.

the main PMs of speech activity are: the comprehension mechanism of mnemonic arrangement of SA (first of all it’s the mechanism of speech memory), also the mechanism of the predictive analysis and speech synthesis(the mechanism of the speech prediction or, what’s the same, the prediction of speech).

This mechanism provides intellectual analysis as from the content side of speech (first of all) so the structural arrangement and language processing.

i.e. mechanism of speech memory

is a process whereby meaning is defined and shared between living organisms. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality.
