Abstract

The main goal of cultural types studies in conducted within linguoculturology, linguopersonology and discursive research, is to describe the stereotypes of communicative behavior typical of the corresponding linguistic culture. Using the method of continuous sampling, semantic analysis, and discourse and contextual analysis techniques we analyze features of non-verbal communicative behavior of the masculine culture type "private detective", represented by Sherlock Holmes, the fiction character of the English detective discourse of Conan Doyle. Peculiarities of realization of professional tactics and strategies are revealed on the basis of the frame-slot structure of the detective investigation. The "crime investigation" frame includes scenario slots with specific lexical content that have a strict sequence. As a result the revealed methods of detective investigation of the masculine culture type "private detective" are classified according to the types of perception on which they are based: visual, tactile, sensory, mental.
