Abstract. The article is devoted to communicative representation of a gifted speech person. It provides linguistic analysis of communicative behavior of some characters from modern movies in English with the aim to reconstruct their profiles by distinguishing a set of communicative identifiers.The authors estimate specificity in connections between the identifiers, the detail and the stage context as the most important tools for assembling the image of the character in a movie. It is stated that the main criterion is the repeatability of the element.The nature of the repeated elements and their significance in the process of character's image construction are defined, their classifications are proposed. It has been established that the communicative identifiers of a gifted speech person could be set as verbal and non-verbal (material) elements.The verbal identifiers are ranked by the nature of relationship between the repeating elements and the movie character and distributed into motivated (directly indicating the dominant feature of the gifted speech person), and unmotivated (connected with the characteristics of the gifted speech person indirectly) types.Non-verbal (material) identifiers are divided into general (characterizing a gifted speech person in general) and specific (describing a certain character) types.The functions of verbal and non-verbal identifiers have been stated as accumulating (the repeating element points to the main feature of the person's image), and mnemonic (the repeating element creates associative links with the character).

Key words: gifted person, speech person, gifted speech person, verbal identifier, non-verbal identifier, communicative behavior, repeatability.
