Abstract

Peculiarity of linguistic expression of the sociocultural identity of modern Afro-American women essay writers through the prism of anthropocentric paradigm. 
The article explores the main aspects of the linguistic expression of the sociocultural identity of modern African- 
American women essay writers through the prism of an anthropocentric paradigm. Within the anthropocentric paradigm of text analysis, the study of the sociocultural identity of its author is envisaged. In the research presented, the term "sociocultural aspect" is interpreted as a synthesis of culture, race, and gender that, through certain linguistic means, has its expression in African-American women's prose. And since these concepts are a reflection of the author's point of view in the work, they should be considered from the anthropocentric perspective. The anthropocentric paradigm is considered as a combination of language tools that allow to analyze texts given their intralinguistic and extralinguistic parameters, which include culture and gender. 
Sociocultural identity is understood as a concept that includes the author’s point of view, given his/her culture and gender. The study of fiction in the socio-cultural aspect involves the study of social and cultural factors. Thus, the sociocultural and sociolinguistic parameters of the linguistic units functioning in the African American women’s essay and their impact on the expression of sociocultural features of African Americans are examined. In this aspect, interconnection of speech and society are studied. Culture, race and gender are influenced by the choice of linguistic units and the importance of a particular speech style. The socio-cultural author’s identity is implemented through the linguistic means used in the works. In sociolinguistic studies, language is seen as a means of reflecting the cultural characteristics of a particular society.
