To feel the others as yourself: about V. K. Kharchenko’s new book «To the refined and wealth of speech»

The review analyzes the structure, content and language features of the new book by Vera Konstantinovna Kharchenko, dedicated to the possibilities of raising the cultural level of one’s speech through acquaintance with a variety of literature and various means of communication, both in oral and written form. A specific feature of the book is the widespread use of quotations in an unusual perspective: this is not a confirmation of one’s own opinion, but an insight into the life world of another person and the search for consonant motives in this world. The book teaches not only refined and rich speech, but also constructive communication between people.
