Введение:

Relevance. In recent years, there has been a significant increase
in interest in the study of language as a phenomenon that has a personal
origin. The introduction of the anthropocentric paradigm into linguistic
research has led to the consideration and description of linguistic phenomena
in the context of their close relationship with a person, his consciousness,
world outlook, mentality and national and cultural characteristics. In this
regard, the concept of linguistic personality enters the arena of linguistic
research.

The hero of a work of art speaks, and the
peculiarities of his speech (lexicon, phraseology, sentence structure,
intonation, etc.) give the reader a vivid idea of himself – his social
position, culture, character. This is the speech feature. Watching a
character’s speech means paying attention not only to the “direct” meaning of
the words he uttered, but also to the “subtext”, that is, to see who is
speaking and understand why, for what purpose he says so.

Many scientific works in the field of linguistics are
devoted to the topic we have chosen, which confirms the significance of the
phenomenon we are studying and the interest that it causes. The theoretical
basis of the work was the provisions of a number of scientists (I.V. Arnold,
O.A. Blinova, M.N. Gordeeva, O.A. Maletina, etc.).

Despite the numerous works that are devoted to the
study of the speech characteristics of the characters of the English fairy
tale, the features of its manifestation in the linguo-conceptual aspect have
not been sufficiently studied.

So, the relevance of the
study is due to the anthropocentric direction of linguistic research of the
present time to the study of the cognitive aspects of cognition, reflection and
interpretation by an individual of an objectively existing world, and portrait
descriptions of people in literature undoubtedly have an anthropocentric
character and a social component.

The objective of the study is to identify the social component of
Charlie Gordon's Linguistic Personality (Based on the Novel "Flowers for
Algernon" by D. Keyes).

Tasks:

1. Consider the linguistic features of literary texts.

2. To reveal the essence of a linguistic personality
in artistic discourse.

3. Describe the structure of the linguistic
personality, its social component.

4. Conduct an analysis of charlie gordon's language
personality (by the material of D. Case's Novel "Flowers For
Altgernon").

5. Describe the practical application of the research
results.

The object of the study is the linguistic personality in a
literary text.

The subject of the research is the social component of Charlie
Gordon's linguistic personality (based on the Novel "Flowers for
Algernon" by D. Keyes).

The research is based on the problem of determining the components of Charlie Gordon's
linguistic personality (based on the novel by D. Keyes "Flowers for
Algernon").

Authors studied: I.V. Arnold, I.R. Galperin, A.M. Erokhin, M.N.
Kozhina, Yu.N. Karaulov and others.

The material under research includes the Novel "Flowers for Algernon" by D.
Keyes.

The study consists of an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, a list
of references.

Заключение:

The analysis of the literature on the topic
of the study made it possible to draw a number of conclusions.

Consideration of the essence and
characteristics of a literary text showed that a literary text is an individual
work of artistic speech. In addition, the literary text is a constituent unit
in the system of such texts.

The social component of a linguistic
personality presupposes that the bearer has mental qualities and a translator
of accumulated sociocultural experience. The individual component is the result
of the individual perception of the national and cultural values of society. In
connection with the above, we note that a linguistic personality, using
language as a means of communication, is at the same time its creator,
realizing its universal and specific features.

In the second chapter of this work, an
analysis was made of the social component of Charlie Gordon's linguistic
personality based on the material of D. Keyes' novel "Flowers for
Algernon". The analysis showed that the speech of the protagonist of the
work by D. Keyes is characterized by its own features. The most striking of
them is the presence of graphs. Charlie Gordon's speech is presented from two
angles: during intellectual progress and regression. During the mental process,
he uses more complex stylistic figures and punctuation. A significant number of
rhetorical questions in Charlie Gordon's speech is explained by the specifics
of the form of presentation of written speech, namely the diary report.
Repetitions, as a rule, are due to the emotional state and emotional
experiences about their own mental abilities. We believe that Charlie Gordon's
use of profanity, vulgarism, etc. is not an indicator of his low intelligence.
Such vocabulary indicates the expressiveness of speech.

The thesaurus of Charlie Gordon's linguistic
personality is characterized by concreteness or abstractness, which indicates
the propensity of the hero to use language units with a narrow or wide sphere
of reference, analyticity or syntheticity, determined on the basis of the
degree of detectiveness. So, Charlie's analytical, detailed speech at the
beginning is replaced by an increasingly synthetic, generalized one after his
mental growth.

As a result of the analysis of the stylistic
features of Charlie's speech in dynamics, it was found that with the gradual
intellectual evolution, stylistic figures of different levels appear in his language
(comparisons, metaphors, rhetorical questions, etc.), which also indicates
psycho-emotional changes.

This work and the results of the study have their
practical significance. The collected material and the results of the study can
be used in the process of teaching a foreign language in high school, including
when teaching reading in a foreign language. The material we have collected
will be especially useful in preparing for the Unified State Exam.

Based on the results of the study, a system of exercises
was developed based on the work of D. Keyes "Flowers for Algernon". The
system of exercises proposed by us will contribute to the effective development
of reading skills in English classes at the senior level of education.

CHAPTER 1. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF RESEARCH OF LANGUAGE PERSONALITY

1.1. Literary text as an object of linguistic research Text is a unit of written speech serving a quantitatively uncertain
audience, so the difficulties of language communication grow with the number of
those who communicate, and reach a maximum. Therefore, the concept of text in
linguistics always remains one of the most developed, which leads to the
importance of the proposed research.

In modern linguistic literature, the idea has already found universal
recognition that linguistic communication, that is, communication between people
in society, occurs not with the help of separate isolated units, but in the
form of whole statements, starting with a sentence and ending with a text. All
aspects of the original text are related; grammatical, lexical, stylistic,
general text and communicative information is processed simultaneously.

The specificity of the psycholinguistic approach is to consider the text as
a unit of communication, a product of speech, determined by the needs of
communication. In the process of communication, as you know, one of the
participants tries in a certain way to change the behavior or state of the
other. Behavior change is manifested in the fact that the communication partner
performs some non-verbal action or reproduces the corresponding speech message.
A change in state involves a change in the subject's attitude to any object, in
turn, can lead to a change in behavior. Thus, objectively, that is, regardless
of the subjects of speech activity, the conditions of communication require the
speech text to be the main unit of communication, to exert a certain influence.

The desired influence is possible if at least two conditions are met:

– such a selection of linguistic means should be made that would provide an
adequate implementation of the communication program;

– the recipient must perceive the text adequately to the intention of its
author, that is, treat the facts depicted in it as the author himself.
