Semantic Interpretation of Metacommunicative Questions in English Dialogic Discourse

Abstract

The article focuses on the methodology of semantic interpretation of metacommunicative questions in English dialogic discourse. The paper examines semantic properties of metacommunicative questions as organizational means of dialogic discourse at contact-establishing, contact-maintaining and contact-terminating stages of communicative contact. It is proved that metacommunicative questions are desemantized interrogative utterances, stereotyped clichйd phrases that can be easily replaced by conventional non-verbal means.
