Abstract

The article outlines primary features of the lingual portrait of the British prime-minister David Cameron’s
personality. His political activity is aimed at improving the well-being of Great Britain, increasing its
economic potential, strengthening the Conservative Party etc. These aspects of his activity are relected
in both cognitive and verbal systemic planes, the latter being represented by speciic speech strategies
namely the contrast, repetition, generalization etc. Within the framework of the cognitive-discoursive
paradigm of linguistics the main trends in treating the notion of “lingual portrait” are deined.
