The importance of forming communicative competence through the lens of nonfiction texts is considered in the article. Several directions are offered - exercises on forming the culture of publicistic speech of students in the process of learning German, and the effectiveness of using the basic communicative method of teaching a foreign language in higher pedagogical education. Communication is defined as communication, combination, transmission, and perception of information in interpersonal relationships that implies a communication process. The norm of communication depends on adherence to certain moral qualities and the culture of speech of the interlocutors, in our case students. Today, as ever, foreign language is becoming an effective factor in the socio-economic, scientific, technical, and cultural progress of society. In the article, nonfiction texts are also considered as one of the factors in the formation of nonfiction speech in student youth. The culture of nonfiction, after all, is the meaning of language and its use in the whole set of functional styles inherent in it. After all, according to the authors, the texts of newspaper and journalistic journalism most strongly encourage students to exchange ideas and opportunities for creative self-realization, formation of critical thinking, associative thinking, and spontaneous foreign language.

The article is devoted to one aspect of the problem of reproduction of boundaries and states in a literary text, in particular the study of artistic architecture of human behavioral models in boundary situations and states. On the basis of philosophical and psychological works, the structural elements of such a model were identified. In invariant form, it consists of three main constructs, which are topos of limited rationality, compensatory satisfaction, awareness of potential meaning. Variant forms of architectonics of behavioral models in boundary situations and states may lose their individual components or differ in certain artistic and semantic nuances. The artistic architecture of the behavioral models of the characters in the article is studied on the material of the novels Dan Brown «Angels and Demons» and M. Kidruk «Where there is no God». There are similar approaches of the authors to the structuring of images-characters who are in borderline situations, and in both works revealed both invariant and variant forms of these structures. The invariant behavioral models of the characters in D. Brown's novel «Angels and Demons» are mostly represented by images of lonely, individual figures (Carlo Ventresca, Pope Francis and Maximilian Kohler)
