THE MANIFESTATION OF LINGUISTIC IDENTITY AT THE VERBAL SEMANTIC LEVEL

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the need for expanded consideration of means of manifestation of linguistic personality, which, in the framework of modern research, is defined as an instrument of cognitive activity of a person, since the linguistic forms used by him directly depend on the activity of thinking and surrounding social factors. For modern science, the person represents a special interest, that is, a concrete person with his inner world, his attitude to himself and the world of things. Language is an instrument of thinking, an instrument of knowledge, and the most importantly, a means of communication. Therefore, the study of common linguistic processes leads to the study of the problem of communication, and hence its creator – the linguistic personality. In this paper the verbal semantic level is analyzed. We stated that the verbal semantic level is a peculiar structural linguistic level, which reflects the degree of proficiency in the popular language. It covers the vocabulary, the stock of words and signs of other codes, the ability to use them. Recognition of the specific features of the linguistic personality of the characters in literary works, in our case, the works of the detective genre, is the key to adequate understanding of the characters and in the subsequent relevant reproduction in translation. In the given paper the functional division of the system of the linguistic personality is considered and substantiated. It is analyzed by means of concrete examples of the means of expression of the detective's linguistic personality (namely clearly formed interrogative and exclamatory sentences, repetition of lexemes, deployed monologues that are complicated by syntactic constructions, vocabulary that belongs to fields of uncertainty and assumption) on the verbal semantic level.
