Непрямі мовленнєві акти в сучасному англомовному дискурсі

Abstract

The aim of research is to dissect the nominative and pragmatic aspects of indirect speech acts in Modern English discourse, offering a comparative analysis across different communicative contexts to highlight patterns of use and interpretation. This objective encompasses several key tasks: 1. To review existing literature on speech act theory, with a focus on indirect speech acts, to establish a theoretical framework for analysis. 2. To identify and categorize instances of indirect speech acts in a corpus of Modern English discourse drawn from varied sources. 3. To analyze the pragmatic functions of these indirect speech acts, considering factors such as politeness strategies, context-dependency, and speaker-hearer dynamics. 4. To compare and contrast the use and interpretation of indirect speech acts across different contexts to uncover underlying principles and variations.
