Author: Tamazyan V.A., Dubova M.A.

The article deals with the comprehension of one of the urgent problems of cognitive linguistics - the study of the linguistic personality of the hero of a work of art. The authors analyze the concept of "time" as a component of the linguistic personality of the protagonist of the story by A.P. Chekhov's "My Life" - Misail Polozneva. Thus, in the center of the research interest of the authors of the article is the linguo-cognitive model of the concept "time", structurally consisting of a core and a system of peripheral means. The concept of "time", along with the concepts of "mental activity" and "space", occupies an important place in the field of scientific interest in cognitive linguistics, which studies language as a cognitive mechanism and as a system of signs that represent and transform information. In this context, the relevance of the presented article is obvious, consisting in an appeal to the phenomenon of the linguistic personality of a character and the method of its description, taking into account the anthropological paradigm of modern linguistic research. Thus, the object of research is the character of a literary text as a virtual linguistic personality. The subject of scientific research interest of the authors of the article is the linguo-cognitive model of the concept "time" as a significant component of the characteristics of the linguistic personality of the hero-intellectual of the late 19th century, which is Misail Poloznev. The aim of the article is to identify and analyze the ways of lexical representation of the concept "time". The formulated research goal presupposes the consistent solution of more specific tasks, consisting in identifying, classifying and analyzing the lexical means of representing the concept and in describing the features of their stylistic functioning, based on the analysis of the character and non-character of the subject speech spheres. In the conclusions reached by the authors of the article, it is substantiated that the concept of "time" is an important component of Misail's linguistic personality, reflects the characteristics of personal development, the specifics of the social environment and the historical and cultural context in which it is inscribed, and also affects the outlook of the character emotional and intellectual sphere, forming an individual picture of the world.
