Abstract: This article analyzes the linguistic personality of Bauyrzhan Momyshuly in Äzılhan Nūrshaıyqov’s novel Aqiqat pen añyz (Truth and Legend) from the perspectives of anthropocentric and cognitive linguistics. The aim of the study is to identify the lexical, discursive, and national-cultural features of the character’s speech, as well as to describe his worldview and communicative identity through linguistic data. The research material included the character’s direct speech, dialogic structures, military terminology, emotional-expressive vocabulary, metaphorical expressions, and code-switching found in the novel. The study employed textual analysis, discourse analysis, cognitive analysis, and pragmalinguistic methods. The results of the research demonstrated that military vocabulary in Bauyrzhan Momyshuly’s speech carries not only professional meaning but also ideological and moral significance. Directive structures reveal the character’s leadership qualities and discipline-based communicative model, while emotional-expressive vocabulary reflects his spiritual nature and moral values. In addition, metaphorical structures reveal the semantic and linguistic features of concepts such as heroism, honor, and dignity. Code-switching reflects the character’s bilingual identity and the linguistic characteristics of the Soviet military environment. The study concludes that Bauyrzhan Momyshuly’s linguistic personality represents a complex communicative system formed through the interaction of national worldview, military culture, and historical consciousness.
