LINGUOPERSONOLOGY AND THE TYPOLOGY OF CHARACTER SPEECH IN LITERARY DISCOURSE

Abstract

This paper investigates linguopersonology as an anthropocentric paradigm in linguistics and examines how typological patterns of character speech operate in literary discourse. It argues that fictional dialogue and monologue represent systematically constructed linguistic personalities that encode social identity, psychological disposition, cultural affiliation, and communicative intent. By integrating insights from cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, stylistics, and discourse studies, the study outlines a multidimensional typology of individual speech in fiction. The analysis demonstrates that character-specific linguistic choices function as semiotic indicators of worldview and identity, thereby enhancing interpretative depth in literary analysis.
