Abstract. The content-criteria table of propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait for researching the group propa-ganda was constructed in the article on the basis of classifying the psycholinguistic portrait’s semantic category components. The study results can be used in constructing a propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait based on the identified group of psychological influence semantic components that require research. The semantic category com-ponents of the propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait were classified by applying the content analysis method of the semantic particle in texts with psycholinguistic influence signs. A table of 17 content-criteria for the single propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait was constructed based on the classified components of the propagandist’s psycholinguistic portrait semantic category. A table of 16 content-criteria for a psycholinguistic portrait of propa-gandists' group was constructed by means of studying the territorially remote multiple sources, which allows re-searching the group propaganda. The content-criteria number expansion, taking into account the perception worlds' multiplicity of both the propagandists' group and persons being influenced require further research. The effectiveness of the developed content analysis method of the semantic particle was proved. Checking the corre-spondence of defined categorical features to the real psychological profile showed a result of 82%, which gives a reason to consider the content-criteria table as maximal accurate for studying the semantic component of the prop-agandist's psycholinguistic portrait. The comparison results of the type I subcategory semantic cores number by content-criterion classes for single and group propaganda indicate the less detailed psycholinguistic profile in case of group propaganda.
