ABSTRACT
The vocative dimension of the phenomenological method becomes especially active in the actual process of phenomenological writing. In the reflective process of writing, the researcher not only engages in analysis but also aims also to express the noncognitive, ineffable, and pathic aspects of meaning that belong to the phenomenon. The project of phenomenology not only rests on the critical role of the reduction, it also may require the expressive method of the vocative, which is probably the most challenging dimension of the phenomenological inquiry process. And, ironically, it has been most neglected and ignored in the phenomenological literature.
