This article explores the linguistic and pragmatic aspects of describing character and personality traits in the English language. It analyzes lexical, grammatical, and stylistic means used to portray human character, as well as the pragmatic factors influencing meaning in different communicative contexts. The study highlights how language users select specific linguistic forms depending on social relations, intentions, and cultural norms. Through examples from spoken and written English, the article demonstrates the interaction between language structure and pragmatic meaning in character description.
