Summary/Abstract: The voice is an important element of human life. Nowadays, the object of interest is both the material, formal and symbolic layer of voice. The inability to define the concept explicitly and fully and the identification of various voice functions in relation to the subject and Others proves the need for sensitivity to the voice – not only in its more linguistic form during direct communication, but also as the expression or exchange of vocal signals and signs or a significant component of the identity of the communicating entity. The voice conceptualizations cited in the article confirm that the areas of voice research in the individual and social dimension are closely related.
