COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES WITH DIFFERENT ILLOCUTIONARY ACTIONS AS PART OF THE VERBALIZED CONCEPT WORD/LANGUAGE/SPEECH

Abstract

The article deals with the thematic group of communicative actions with different illocutionary goals, which encompasses a large number of verbal units that designate orders, requests, promises, and advice that refer to actions such as verbal conflicts, curses or conversely exaltation. The group includes the nominations for public communication as well as false and entertaining communication. We conclude that the linguistic picture of the world is a definite reflection of the world order of the respective linguistic community. In general, in our samples, 18 lexical units verbalize the semantic complex order. Providing recommendations and advice takes place in various spheres of the social activity, each of them contains the appropriate lexical names of such kind of communication. In total, their number comprises 9 units in our material. According to our sub-sample, almost a dozen nominative units denote communicative activities of entertainment. A wide range of nominations (almost a dozen and a half units) to denote the communicative effect of the promise, as well as the presence of various types of documents to confirm this action, indicate the rootedness of the responsible attitude in the cultural life of the English-speaking society (both individuals and institutions as a whole) to the promises given and those taken. As the definitive analysis of our sub-sample (6 nominations) shows, the English vocabulary reflects different types of conflict communication, in which the participants hold opposite evaluative positions in relation to a single situation: it may be a discussion, a dispute, or maybe a quarrel. Having considered the thematic group communicative actions with different illocutionary goals, we distinguish subgroups, each of which contains a certain number of nominative units that verbalize such illocutionary guides as to command / request, recommend, promise, praise / condemn, conflict, mislead, entertain. The data of definitive analysis and etymological inquiries show the approving / disappointing axiological colour of certain communicative actions, and also reflect a certain structuring of the English-speaking society, which served as the basis for the formation of established communication patterns.
