Konchalovsky («Low truths» and «Exalts deception») the negative constructions, their pragmatic orientation. It becomes clear how and what certain fiction-figurative and expressive means, based on the use of linguistic resources at various levels, it is possible to characterize the individual memoirist using negative semantic proposals. We consider the specifics of the use of various methods of influence by the author of memoirs on the reader by the means of representation categories of negopositivism. It reveals that any information that is submitted by the author in the text of memoirs, refers to the identity of the author, memoirist, and entering into a dialogue with their readers, the author establishes contacts with them. In the course of this dialogue there is the exchange of information about people, about oneself, about different events and facts in the different periods of the life of the author and the country.
