Abstract
The article examines speech behaviour of a lyrical hero of O. E. Mandelstam’s poetical collection “Kamen (Stone)”. The communicative approach to analysing a lyrical poem allows considering it as complicated interaction of the author and a reader (outer dialogue), a lyrical hero/heroine and other personages (inner dialogue). Speech behaviour of O. E. Mandelstam’s lyrical hero involves a limited range of speech genres: question, reproach, command and request. A question dominates among a lyrical hero’s speech genres, which allows concluding that the main features of his character are uncertainty, tendency for reflection and self-analysis.
