The study of the media discourse of public linguistic personalities belongs to the relevant areas of modern linguistics. Of particular interest is the analysis of interviews with the participation of the writer as a creative personality with a special worldview and the ability to focus on the mass addressee. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the communicative style of the creative media linguistic personality of the writer based on his speech behavior in interviews. The article analyzes the material of 4 interviews in 2013-2023 with the participation of Tatyana Efremovna Meiko, a member of the Union of Writers of Russia. The research was carried out in line with communicative stylistics using the theory of regularity developed within the framework of this direction and using methods of discursive analysis, semantic-stylistic, contextual analysis and experiment based on a survey of informants. It is established that in the interview T. Meiko reveals herself as a creative, emotional, passionate person, constantly on the lookout, able to support young writers by sharing his experience. In interviews, the author often uses communicative strategies of influence, self-presentation, positive attitude, openness, and trust. This is reflected in the verbal and non-verbal behavior of the individual, including phonation features, gestures and facial expressions. It is revealed that the writer in public media communication is characterized by a figurative metaphorical style, which manifests itself in the use of vivid regulatory means (metaphors, epithets, comparisons), as well as stylistic techniques of repetition, contrast, rhetorical questions and exclamations. Of the regulatory strategies in the writer’s discourse, strong explicit regulatory strategies of a mixed sequential-convergent type prevail in terms of uniformity / heterogeneity of the regulatory tools used, performing one function. The experiment on the recognition of the writer and his perception as a person and participant in the interview showed that most of the participants in the experiment know Tatiana Meiko and assess her as a creative person, open to positive communication, capable of emotionally influencing the recipient. The theory of regularity makes it possible to reveal the individual author’s peculiarities of the communicative style of the writer’s public linguistic personality, to identify communication strategies characteristic of it, as well as various means and methods of effective influence on the addressee.

The Communicative style of the writer’s linguistic personality in the media (based on the discourse of D. Dragunsky, A. Matveeva, and T. Meyko) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2026. Issue 3 (245). P. 81-89

The aim of the research is to identify and describe the specifics of reflecting a writer’s public linguistic persona idiolect in media communication, and to define models of communicative style variation across different media genres. The research is conducted within the framework of communicative text stylistics. The theoretical basis is A. V. Bolotnova’s model of idiolect, which includes cultural-speech, communicative, and cognitive substyles. The research material comprises discursive practices of three contemporary Russian writers: interviews and author blogs by Denis Dragunsky; interviews and the Telegram channel of Anna Matveeva; interviews by Tatyana Meyko. The study employed methods of discursive, semantic-stylistic, contextual, and comparative analysis. Based on the discursive practices of the three writers, it is proven that the idiolect of these linguistic personas in media represents a dynamic system with a stable cognitive-value core and variable communicative implementations. Three distinct models of writers’ media presentation are identified and described, demonstrating the dialectic of unity and variation in idiolect: 1) the synthesis model, characteristic of D. Dragunsky, based on blurring the boundaries between the author’s persona and a literary character through a strategy combining intellectual depth of content with confidential irony; 2) the genre code model, typical for A. Matveeva, characterized by a clear differentiation of communicative strategies – ironic self-reflection in the blog and expert analysis in interviews – while maintaining an elite speech culture across these media genres; 3) the direct transmission model, characteristic of T. Meyko, with a dominant artistic metaphorical style manifesting in media communication and serving to enhance the effect of the author’s authenticity and value orientation. Applying the comprehensive idiolect model to analyze writers’ media communication allows for identifying common and individual features in their discursive practices. It is established that successful media communication by a writer is built on varying degrees of adaptation of their individual cognitive and cultural-speech features across different media genres. The stability of a writer’s linguistic persona deep-seated attitudes, combined with flexible use of communicative tactics and strategies, is key to creating a recognizable and effective public image in the digital environment. The research results are of interest for the further development of communicative stylistics and media linguistics.
