Self-description of a person and community as modes of anthropocentricity of language and speech

Statement of the problem. The paper attempts to discover topological connections between the anthropocentric principle of language construction and speech activity and the appeal to the self-description of the linguistic personality and community. The stimulation of speech activity in a dialogue demonstrates this in an obvious way - whether the answers to questions, “catchy” and stimulating to speech activity words-stimuli, characterize the Speaker. On the other hand, the same self-description is characteristic of a Set of Speakers. The purpose of this article is to raise the question about the link between the concentration of a linguistic personality on the description of their own experiences, personal events and the fundamental anthropocentrism of a language. The paper uses the method of communicative research for the process of human communication and behavior in the conditions of collecting dialect material. Research results. In epic, lyrical, author’s fiction and journalistic activities, the Community expresses itself through individual Speakers. The study of dialogical fragments of everyday speech shows the validity of the thesis of “self-description”. The author comes to the conclusions about the pervasive “inward” tendency in the speech activity of both the individual and the community as a whole.
