Abstract

Nowadays, linguistic scientists have focused their attention on studying the question of what is the mechanism for the use of speech messages by speakers to achieve diverse goals in the course of social interaction. Increasing attention has been paid to pragmatic influences, and pragmatics as a science came to the fore. This work is devoted to the study of the functioning of indirect speech acts in various situations that involve a variety of interpersonal relationships between communicants, as well as the causes and conditions for the implementation of a speech act. For the first time, the functioning of speech acts of the same intention, belonging to the same epistolary type of text, is traced depending on the various parameters of the situation.

Keywords:

epistolary genre, speech act, commissives, business correspondence, private correspondence.
