Methodology. In the course of the study of loner characters, the author reveals the contexts of their statements, identifies and analyzes the linguistic means active in the discourse of a special sensory state. Based on the typology of loneliness subjects in a literary text, their ability to show their speech behavior is also considered in a linguo-comparative aspect.
Results. Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made about discursive intentionality and limited communication necessity of loner characters.
Research implications. The theoretical significance is confine to the pragmalinguistic substantiation of the communication scheme violations by loners. The paper is relevant for discourse studies as applied to literary texts.
