Abstract
This article investigates the concept of linguistic personality within the framework of contemporary anthropocentric linguistics, with a particular focus on its realization in English literary discourse. Drawing on the theoretical model proposed by Yu.N. Karaulov, the study explores the verbal-semantic, cognitive, and pragmatic levels of linguistic personality and their interrelation in shaping a character’s speech portrait. The research integrates approaches from linguoculturology, pragmatics, and discourse analysis to examine how language reflects individual identity and cultural values. Through the analysis of selected literary texts by E. Hemingway, G. Orwell, and V. Woolf, the study demonstrates that linguistic personality is not only a reflection of individual communicative competence but also a manifestation of broader socio-cultural and ideological frameworks. The findings confirm that literary discourse serves as a privileged domain for modeling linguistic personality, revealing the dynamic interaction between language, cognition, and culture.
