Abstract

The article offers the development of the complex methodology for the study of the speech behavior of the intelligentsia characters. The material of the research is the plays and screenplays of the 60–80s of the 20th century by the Soviet authors such as Valentin Azernikov, Alexei Arbuzov, Vladimir Arro, Emil Braginsky and Eldar Ryazanov, Alexander Vampilov, Alexander Volodin and Leonid Zorin, and others. The article considers methodological approaches to the study of the speech behavior of literary characters belonging to the same social group. Patterns of linguistic persona and patterns of speech behavior are analyzed. The main definitions applied within the scope of the approaches are linguistic, speech, communicative, or discursive persona; linguistic, verbal, communicative, or discursive behavior, as well as units of description of speech behavior: speech acts, parameters, actions, steps, speech or communicative strategies and tactics, speech genres, speech acts and speech behavior patterns. The approaches under consideration are discovered to have points of convergence, the prospects of developing the research are outlined. It is concluded to be necessary to conduct a contrastive study, namely, to compare the communicative features of the behavior of the members of different social groups in typical communicative situations and to identify specific patterns of speech behavior, which the authors use in creating the intelligentsia characters of the 60–80s of the 20th century. The prospects of the study include the consideration of various communicative situations with the participation of only intelligentsia members, or an intelligentsia character and a member of another social group; formal and informal communication situations, the status of communicants, communication participants complying with etiquette norms, emotionality and reasonableness of communication, ways of expressing evaluation, influence on the organization of communication, as well as other linguistic and extralinguistic factors, should be taken into account in the study.
