Abstract. The relevance of the research is due to the interest in the manifestation of linguistic personalities in a particular type of discourse. The article is devoted to one of the possible participants of conflict discourse — a mediator. The mediator is a neutral person who is specifically engaged by the parties to the conflict to resolve their differences and to ensure their communication. The mediator organizes negotiations in a conflict discourse without getting involved in the conflict situation. The question is raised about the role of a mediator in conflict discourse. The author is interested in whether the role of the mediator changes in different areas of conflict discourse. It turns out that the conflict is the motivational basis of the mediator’s activity. The mediator works in the conflict as a participant in the mediation discourse and as an external expert for the parties in the conflict discourse. The discourse of mediation is considered as a discourse that includes conflict and cooperative types of discourses. The role of the mediator is associated with the transformation of the subjects of conflict interaction and with the transformation of conflict discourse into cooperative discourse. The article draws attention to the fact that different spheres of mediator’s application do not change his role in the conflict discourse. Conflicts happen in different spheres of human activity. A mediator needs, at a minimum, a basic mediation course to help conflict participants to resolve their differences. The possible areas of mediation are listed and it is noted that the mediator’s specialization is related to the mediator’s knowledge about the conflict area and does not relate to mediation competence.
