The article is devoted to the relevant aspect of language learning in recent decades - the communicative one. In theoretical terms, the author relies on the famous works of M. M. Bakhtin, I. A. Sternin, M. N. Kozhina, V. A. Salimovsky and others. The author of this work describes friendship in the aspect of communication theory, thereby continuing its study of the structure of friendship as a communicative-speech category. The author of the article studies stylistic techniques and illocutive acts that are used by participants in friendly communication. The material for the study was published letters from friends: Russian writers, artists, scientists. As the analysis showed, stylistic techniques (antithesis, irony, meiosis, hyperbole and others) indicate communicative signs of friendship ("code of friendship"). As the author of the article notes, a variety of illocutive acts (requests, communications, complaints, apologies and others) indicate compliance with the main provision of the "code of friendship": the desire to make a friend interesting in the company of a friend.
