Linguopersonology as a science

 

At the present stage of the development of linguistics the linguopersonology is actively developing, and new aspects of research are coming into existence. Linguopersonology has been the brightest implementation of antropothentric approach to language. As many researchers note, this direction is one of the most perspective trends among linguistic problems and linguistic personality is considered to be "that crucial concept, which covers the discussion of linguistics problems that are currently of great interest"[1:59-66]. In linguopersonology,  each person is a unique linguistic personality that possesses a certain set of peculiar features only inherent to him, on the one hand; and linguistic personality can be assigned to a certain type, which is allocated according to any sign, on the other hand [2:24].

Anthropocentric approach in linguistics gets its complete realization in linguopersonology, in which the following directions has been added/folded so far: level description of linguistic personality, description of a complete portrait of linguistic personality, a complex psycho-linguistic description of linguistic personality. However, one of the main tasks of linguopersonology is the study of structure of linguistic personality, and creation/formation of its model.

At present, the term "linguistic personality" has several implications:

1)      the denomination of complex means describing the linguistic ability of the individual that connects systematic representation of language with the functional analysis of texts [3: 3];

2)      the type of representation of personality based on the discourse analysis of language bearer from the point of view of use of system means of this very language for reflection of vision of a certain reality and for achievement of specific communicative goals, i.e. communicative personality [2: 24];

3)      dictionary/lexicographic personality which is the basic national and cultural prototype of the carrier of a certain language that is predominantly attached to the lexical system and is reconstructed on the basis of the world outlook settings, valuable priorities and behavioral reactions reflected in the dictionary.

Currently various structures of linguistic personality are presented and analyzed in works of different linguists. The models of linguistic personality, which are often used in current scientific works, belong to Yu.N.Karaulov, V.P. Nerozanak and others. For instance, in accordance with literary text Yu.N. Karaulov designated and pointed out level-models of linguistic personality, which, in his opinion, has three structural levels:

1) Verbal-semantic level (zero level) reflects the extent and scope of knowledge of ordinary language and is considered to be the basis of linguistic communication. This level includes phonetic, grammatical, lexical, syntactic means;

2)      Cognitive level (or so-called thesaurus level), reflects the world picture of linguistic personality/individual. This level contains notions, ideas, concepts, systems of value, all of which are actual for the language bearer characterized as linguistic personality;

Pragmatic (motivational) (superlative) level includes the characteristics of motives, interests and aims, communicative spheres and communicative situations, which are regulated by the development of linguistic personality. These components are revealed in the process of reproduction and perception of texts.  This level is realized through abilities to classify speech situations, and to form the text according to the situation components such as the field of activity, the positions of communicants, the aim of communicationetc. As it is seen, at the third level linguistic personality "turns" into communicative personality. In our investigation, we only refer to the term “linguistic personality” (LP), as it includes all parameters that comprise linguopragmatic interpretation of LP in literary discourse .

The researchers add to this paradigm of personality the other different concepts, as well:  ethno-semantic personality,   linguocultural personality,  regional personality,  dialect personality,  emotional linguistic personality, page, invective, courteous and rational-heuristic linguistic personalities, etc.

However, as researchers note, the model of LP is not constant. Specific peculiarity/character of this theory is defined by the fact that it is open for further additions and specifications/clarifications/improvements, i.e. it can be supplemented, expanded due to both highlighting new levels, and specification within the available levels. Thus, O. L. Kamenskaya highlights the emotional level that reflects emotions in their conceptual representation [1]. Based on LP typology I.P. Susov points out formal-semantic, cognitive-interpretative and socio-interactive types. S. A. Sukhikh, considering LP in communicative aspect, distinguishes exponential (formal), substantial and intentional levels in its discourse [2]. In pedagogics, types of linguistic activity of individual are noted/differentiated as well: level of correctness, level of interiorization, level of saturation/intensity, level of adequate choice and synthesis [3, p. 3].
