The author of the article relies on the prevailing ideas in science about the importance of private letter in the process of interpersonal communication, which is demonstrated in a scientific review. The epistolary genre is an actual area of stylistic research related to the category of the author’s linguistic personality; related to the idea of the role of the speaker/writer’s intention in expressing the emotional relationship with language resources within the framework of the You-category. The category is characteristic of the anthropocentrism as the methodological basis of the research.

Turgenev.
