 This approach makes it possible to detect patterns of functioning of implicit information leading to the specified properties. The manifestations of cohesion that have the potential to extract implicit textual information about the artistic and psychological properties of the narrator are considered 1) at the plotcompositional level: text editing – the juxtaposition of replicas, the plot embodiment of the previously named possible situation (realization of premonitions; 2) at the level of expressive means (intonation, emotional colouring, phonetic filling of
 rhythmic groups, key elements). Techniques of emotional influence on the reader and ways of attracting his attention are revealed.
 Conclusions are drawn about the aesthetic possibilities of cohesion in detecting the artistic and psychological properties of the hero 1) in a dialogue, the artistic and psychological background of which is non-verbalized presuppositions
 associated with the sphere of relationships; 2) within the contrast of the cognitive and emotional content of the dialogue participants' replicas.
