Abstract

The article deals with peculiarities of the interview as a speech genre that has gained its popularity due to the productive way of obtaining information in the process of dialogic interaction of its participants. Communicative interaction in the interview is based on some genre canons, the extraction of which explains the topicality of our research. In linguistic studies interview is analyzed as a speech genre, a type of the text or a type of the discourse. In our investigation this phenomenon is viewed from its genre perspective. Special attention is paid to the examination of historical changes in defining genre as a notion. The definitions of speech genre suggested by different linguists are compared, a changeable character of the genre is highlighted, our own definition of the speech genre as a communicative situation is offered. Genre characteristics of the interview are described on the basis of the passport of genre created by T. V. Shmeleva and expanded with a parameter of communicative sense suggested by F. S. Batsevich. The conducted analysis proves that interview is a complex communicative phenomenon, a specific speech genre that is characterized by the parameters of communicative aim, content of the event, communicative sense, concepts of the addresser and the addressee, factors of communicative past and communicative future and also by dialogic structure, interactive character and thema-rhematic development of the interaction. Interview is a complex, secondary, thematically specific speech genre that is based on a usual information model.
