| Summary: | The article highlights some peculiarities of epistolary colloquial speech, registered in a business-
and-friendly written dialogue of the Russian creative intelligentsia in the late 20 th century. The material for this
scientific consideration were some letters of A.V. Makedonov, a Smolensk-born literary historian, critic and publicist
addressed to Yu. V. Pashkov, a Smolensk poet, whose literary talent A.V. Makedonov always wished to support; the
letters, which have never been under study, are available at Smolensk University Literary Museum Archive.
A complex analysis of the epistolary style in the letters by A.V. Makedonov was based on the communicative-
and-pragmatic and linguoculturological approaches and directed at reconstruction of a speech portrait with regard
to the several levels of speech personality, in particular, the semantic level, which characterizes the epistolary style
as a written form of colloquial speech, the linguo-cognitive level, that singles out epistolary concepts conductive
to informational and assessment aspects of the letters, and the motivation level, which implies analysis of speech
acts and speech-etiquette standards in the letters, makes it possible to single out several peculiarities of the
communicants’ inter-relations on a par with their personal characteristics.
In conclusion the article sums up epistolary stylistic peculiarities of A.V. Makedonov’s creative personality
and speech culture. |
