SUMMARY
A linguistic-didactic experimental study incorporating elements of statistical analysis in the lexical-semantic dimension was conducted. The study examined how professional maritime English vocabulary is acquired by students in technical specialties. The experiment was carried out over a three-year period while students were taking a course in English for professional purposes. This approach made it possible to track the dynamics of the formation, development, and shaping of linguistic personality. The primary research method chosen for this study was the empirical method, which included content analysis, questionnaires, observation, and methods of quantitative analysis of experimental data. The author presents a structure of the portrait of the English-speaking professional personality of a student of marine technical specialty in the lexical-semantic dimension. The linguistic personality is characterized using discursive means of expression. The lexicalsemantic analysis of the English-speaking professional personality was conducted using a lexicon composed of thematic groups of lexical units. The segmentation of the dialogue text was performed by identifying semantic fields and marker words. The method of structural analysis of written works and oral presentations of a specific target group was applied. The basic definitions of the stated subject field of research were delineated. It is proposed to establish the concept of an “English-speaking professional personality” in academic discourse, defined as an individual who possesses a sufficient command of the English language to succeed in their professional field, has the relevant skills and knowledge, and is able to express their thoughts, conduct business negotiations, and handle documentation and professional correspondence in English.
Keywords: English-speaking personality, English-speaking professional personality, student of a technical specialty, portrait of a linguistic personality, lexical-semantic dimension.
