Ontological status and epistemological aspects of studying a language
personality in modern linguistics (based on the papers published in the «Siberian journal of philology» and «Tomsk state pedagogical university bulletin» in the 2014–2015 years)

A review of papers is presented that were published in the «Siberian Journal of Philology» and «Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin» in 2014–2015 years, and dedicated to revealing the specificity of various language personalities’ functioning and manifesting their essential properties in a variety of discourses, as well as describing the methods of analyzing the key concept as an inter-disciplinary object of research. Numerous conceptions are systematized relative to the peculiarities of textual activities and, as a whole, to the communicative behavior of native speakers in their discursively conditioned variants of existence, taking into account the diversity
of scientific approaches developed in the theory and practice of studying the phenomenon of language personality. Note is made of the multiparadigmatic character of the key concept as one of its most meaningful properties, conditioned by the possibility of multiple-aspect analysis within the framework of linguopersonology and psycholinguistics, cognitive and gender linguistic,
and discoursology genrovedeniya, linguistics and pedagogy, communication studies and functional stylistics, cultural linguistics and sociolinguistics.
