REVIEW OF I. MITROFANOVA. 2015. LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATIVE PERSONALITY San Francisco, California: B&M Publishing, 132 pp.

The monograph deals with the use of the language in the process of speech communication. One of the major focuses of contemporary linguistics is the study of how speech peculiarities of any person in any situation fit within the overall language system. Mastering the appropriate language is a prerequisite for personal socialization. Modern sociolinguistics has come a long way to englobe various aspects at the crossroads of social and language sciences, e.g. the heterogeneous level of civilizational development in different parts of the world, the discrepancy between personal communication needs and the needs of society, the logic of development of science per se and its place in the knowledge paradigm, the influence of vernacular linguistic traditions and research interests of individual scientists). The research touches upon the forms of language functioning as a semiotic and communication system, socialization as a measure of personal intellectual, moral and cultural development. All of the above emphasizes the relevance of the monograph.
