ABSTRACT

This study develops and empirically tests a structural equation model integrating phenomenological theory and linguistic pragmatics. The proposed framework conceptualizes transcendental intentionality as the foundational dimension from which aesthetic descriptive experience, sign-meaning structuration, pragmatic sense directionality, and communicative teleology emerge. A cross-sectional, non-experimental design was implemented with a sample exceeding the minimum statistical requirement for covariance-based structural equation modeling. Latent variables were operationalized through validated Likert-type scales, and content validity was established via expert judgment. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity. Structural path analysis revealed that transcendental intentionality significantly predicts aesthetic descriptive experience and sign-meaning structuration, while pragmatic sense directionality mediates the relationship between meaning formation and communicative teleology. Global fit indices indicated adequate model fit. The findings support the empirical coherence of translating phenomenological and pragmatic constructs into measurable latent variables, contributing to interdisciplinary dialogue between transcendental philosophy and quantitative modeling.
