Abstract
The focus of the article is to explore the communicative behaviour of the interlocutor who has suffered from the conflict situation and is the object of the initiative for reconciliation. The author has made an attempt to determine and analyze the main lexico-semantic means implementing the confrontation strategy of the object’s of reconciliation speech behaviour. It has been concluded that in order to refuse the initiator’s request for restoring harmonious relations the object of reconciliation uses the following lexico-semantic means: personal and social invectives which aim at expressing negative attitude to the initiator of reconciliation and his maleficent deed as well as humiliating his dignity and mental abilities; utterances containing the inverted assessment of initiator’s qualities; etiquette forms of address which serve to express the abrupt change of the politeness levels and thus manifest the estrangement and restraint between the interlocutors as a result of the conflict; imperatives which are mainly used in exclamatory sentences to express the unwillingness to forgive the initiator of reconciliation and restore harmonious interaction with him. The imperatives in the speech of the object of reconciliation also demonstrate his intention to stop communicative interaction with the initiator of reconciliation. The theoretical foundations are illustrated by the examples from the works of literature written in the English language. All of the examples represent the communicative situation of reconciliation in an unofficial dialogic discourse.
