Abstract

The article concentrates on the analysis of speech behavior of the Soviet, American and Russian artist, sculpturer Mikhail Shemyakin. The topicality of the research is explained by the fact that the study of speech behavior of representatives of various professional groups is one of the important tasks of linguistic science. The study contributes to the development of a methodology for diagnosing speaker’s personal qualities by their speech, to the theory of studying stereotypical speech behavior of professional groups. The diverse use of communicative strategies and tactics by the artist demonstrates his linguistic competence. Skillful choice of tropes and figures of speech makes the artist’s speech lively and rich, creates bright aesthetic impression and testifies to his highly developed creative thinking, rich experience and the presence of clear life position.
