Abstract

The article reveals the peculiarities of the speech acts with the intentional meaning of support. The types of illocutions typical of the speech acts under investigation are described. The author of the article classifies the speech acts according to the dominant illocutionary aim, taking into consideration featuring emotive, assessing, phatic, ethic and informative communicative categories. The speech act of communicative support is defined as primarily indirect simple or complex multiillocutionary speech act featuring the peculiarities of macro-speech act with the general illocutionary aim to give a communicant moral support by performing influence on his psychologic and emotional state or behavior. It is proved that supportive expressions may be of initiative and reactive character. The article identifies the illocutionary force of the investigated utterances pointing at individual conditions of their speech realization. It is proved that the general illocutionary force of the supportive expressions is formed by the unity of informing the receiver, expressing personal attitudes and general acceptance of the recipient, performing influence on their emotional state or behaviour. The differentiating factor in the identification of the illocutionary type is the speaker’s intention during the communicative interaction. Thus the author argues for the multiillocutionary nature of the speech acts of communicative support caused by two ways of junction of the speech act types’ peculiarities: the syncretic unity of subordinate and dominant illocutions within a single speech act in particular context and the generalized type of the intentional communicative unit which integrates the peculiarities of different illocutionary types of speech acts.
