Abstract

In this article, the pragmalinguistic features of speech acts within the framework of dialogic discourse are analyzed. It examines the interaction of illocutionary and perlocutionary forces arising in dialogic speech based on the basic principles of speech act theory (the concepts of J. Austin and J. Searle). Also, using examples, the use of such functional types of speech acts as directive, representative, expressive, commissive, and declarative in dialogic discourse is shown. The study highlights the role of pragmatic context, communicative purpose, and social relations between participants in the formation of speech acts. The conclusions of the article have important theoretical and practical significance in the pragmalinguistic analysis of dialogic discourse.
