Contact: Bielova Olena Borysivna, PhD in of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor, Associate Professor of the Department of Speech Therapy and Special Techniques of Kamyanets-Podilsky Ivan Ohienko National University, Kamyanets-Podilsky, Ukraine. Academic interests: features of the development of cognitive and emotional-volitional spheres of children with speech disorders; speech activity of children with speech disorders.

The research presents a theoretical and paradigmatic analysis of scientific concepts on the problematic issues of the semiotic substructure of the cognitive component of speech readiness for school of older preschool children with speech pathology. The diagnostic direction is aimed at studying the semiotic subcomponent in older preschool children with speech disorders. Objectives of the study: theoretical analysis of scientific and conceptual provisions on the components of the semiotic language and sign system; description of levels of semiotic substructure from the point of view of linguistics; description of methods of diagnostics of semiotic substructure for studying the state of formation of phonemic processes, lexical and grammatical components of speech in children of older preschool age with speech pathology. The purpose of the research: theoretical substantiation of the semiotic subcomponent and determination of the directions of its research in children of older preschool age with speech pathology. During the scientific theoretical research, the substantiation of terms and terms such as "semiotics", "sign", "sign system", "language-sign system" was carried out; the semiotic language-sign system from the concept of three dimensions (semiosis) is considered: syntax, semantics and pragmatics; the strategy of the functional system of language and speech is revealed, the structure of which includes three subsystems: programming, regulating and semiotic; describes the semiotic substructure, from the standpoint of linguistics, consists of phonemic, lexical, grammatical (morphological and syntactic) levels; planned diagnostic direction, which involves diagnosing the level of formation in older preschool children with speech pathology of phonemic processes (phonemic perception: differentiation of similar phonemes, selection of sound from the group of sounds, words; phonemic analysis: detection of sound positions in a word, determining the number of sounds in a word , comparison of words by sound composition, phonemic representation: comparison of sound with the name of objects, pictures); lexical (active and passive vocabulary) and grammatical components of speech (creation of translation; use of prepositions, pronouns; coordination of words in number, gender, case).

Keywords: semiotics, language-sign system, language and speech systems, phonemic process, vocabulary, grammar, children with speech disorders.
