LANGUAGE UNITS DENOTING TIME IN MODERN ENGLISH (WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SPEECH ACT THEORY)
Journal Title: Науковий вісник Херсонського державного університету. Серія «Перекладознавство та міжкультурна комунікація» - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of linguistic units, which are used to designate time in different types of speech acts. The peculiarities of the designation of time have been considered in five speech acts including representatives, direc- tives, commissives, expressives and declarations. It has been proved that such units are used mainly in representative language acts in order to transfer certain information. The usage of units denoting time allows to inform or get information, express an order or request, reveal emotions and feelings, approve or condemn etc.
