The person and the text: the anthropocentric approach to research

The results of research of social factors influence on the syntactic level of speech production are considered in article. On material of spontaneous monologic speech such syntactic parametres as «length of the sentence» and «syntactic complexity» are investigated. The data of the suprasegmantal analysis of spontaneous speech which are directly connected with syntactic level is involved for comparison. Average length of phrase and average length of syntagma in texts is considered. Тhe results of the analysis of the data in three samples of examinees argue that factors influencing essentially the syntactic level are «education» and «gender». Gradations of the factor «education» essentially influence both length of sentence, and syntactic complexity, and gradations of the factor «gender» influence only the length of sentence.
