“Trench Viewpoint”: Wartime Letters as the Object of Scientific Conceptualization in Linguistic Personology

Based on the regional archival materials (private letters of nine veterans of World War II), the article discovers approaches to scientific description of external parameters of epistolary texts. Since analysed letters are written by privates and junior officers, the narrative represents the “trench viewpoint”. External parameters of epistolary texts include various information: they capture the spirit of the period, describe some details of front life, reveal the level of culture of gene­ral and written speech, and in some cases reflect the psychological traits and mental state of the sen­der. The description of external features of epistolary texts lays a foundation for further analysis of their content, being an integral part of the linguistic and personological method of portraying a linguistic personality. The method is aimed at solving the issues of military and historical anthropology, as it allows to identify the factors that are important for recreating the multidimensional image of the sender in the severe environment of wartime reality.
