COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES AND TACTICS OF FAMILY DISCOURSE

Abstract

Based on the texts of parental letters written in the 70s and 90s of the last century, this article identifies the communicative strategies and tactics of family discourse. The work traces the dependence of the choice of communication strategies and tactics implementing them on a number of factors: the genre-discursive nature of the epistolary text (communication strategy), the social role of participants in family communication and their individual and personal characteristics (communication strategy, strategy of influence, phatic strategy, modal strategy).The strategies and tactics used in family letters reflect the relationships of the participants in family communication and serve as a tool for regulating the emotional climate within the family. Understanding these mechanisms is necessary for the essential interpretation of family discourse in its various genre manifestations. The results of the study will be of interest in the linguistic study of family discourse issues, viewed from the perspective of its genre-written embodiment.
