COGNITIVE AND PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL OF VERBS OF VALIDITY WITH SUBJECTIVITY

Abstract

The task of the article is to look at different verbs that provide valid information (maintain, plead, vouch) from a cognitive-pragmatic approach. Cognitive pragmatics is aimed at studying the influence of cognitive processes on the success of speech acts, how to plan, produce and understand these acts. The tasks are to consider examples of the use of these verbs in different situation and their definitions. The originality of the article lies in the use of a cognitive-pragmatic approach to the study of verbs for transmitting valid information. The reliability of verbs of providing valid information is based on personal belief or experience. Such subjectivity does not guarantee validity of provided information. Taking that into account this theory is the way to use these verbs providing false information depending on the speaker’s intentions. As a result the researcher has identified similar cases that prove the proposed theory.
