Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of the conflict potential of the accusation tactics in the communicative situation of accusation/excuse as a special type of conflict interaction. An attempt is made to analyze the accusation as a discursive act of the “blaming” type, implemented by a set of direct and indirect speech acts: representatives, commissives, directives and expressives. The situation of accusation/excuse is understood as a stereotypical situation in which the speaker’s attitude is char- acterized as negative, since the addressee bears the responsibility for the speaker’s unwelcome state of affairs. This communicative situation is characterized by the following: the communicative interests of the participants do not coincide; the speaker’s actions aim at the change of the addressee’s behavior or state; the addressee’s actions aim at the conflict management, the decrease of the harm done to the speaker and the improvement of his/her emotional state. The situation of accusation/excuse is attributed to the harmonizing type of conflict interaction, characterized by distinct features of conflict interaction and the interlocutors’ will to harmonize communication and pass over to cooperative inter- action. The conducted research opens up new vistas for the thorough analysis of the excuse as a discursive act of the “apol- ogizing” type, implemented by a set of the appropriate direct and indirect speech acts.
