Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate Kekilbayev’s polydiscursive linguistic personality and the structure of the author’s discursive space. The methods used in the study include discourse and structural analysis, analytical and synthetic approach. Among the main extra-linguistic factors of the formation of the linguistic personality of A. Kekilbayev, the following were highlighted: biological (gender – male), social (nationality – Kazakh, professional employment – political, literary), psychological (emotionality, expressiveness), cognitive (concepts of home, native land, steppe, aul), ethnocultural (cultural traditions, folklore influence, communication with fellow villagers), pragmatic (communicative tactics of approval, appeal, inducement). Among the non-verbal factors, mimicry, voice tempo, gestures, and among the verbal factors – tropes and stylistic figures were singled out. When studying the polydiscursive specificity of the linguistic personality of A. Kekilbayev, the basic discourses of the author were determined to be artistic, scientific, political, and journalistic. The fictional discourse was divided into poetic and prose discourse, the political discourse into national-patriotic and polemical, the scientific discourse into research and educational-pedagogical discourse, and the publicistic discourse into biographical and publicistic discourse. Among the genres of discourses, the following should be singled out: verse, poem in poetic discourse, novel, short story, essay in prose discourse, publications in mass media, speeches in parliament in national-patriotic discourse, speeches at a meeting in polemical discourse, biographies of famous personalities in biographical discourse, interview, speeches in proper-publicistic discourse.
