COMMUNICATIVE TACTICS IN A FAMILY CONFLICT SITUATION (BASED ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE)

Abstract

The article reveals a problem of conflict communicative behavior, verbally implemented within a family conflict by means of a certain set of communicative strategies and tactics. The authors illustrate the linguopragmatic characteristics of a family conflict based on an English-language film text. The article considers conflict as a type of speech behavior, studies the specifics of a family conflict as a type of everyday conflict, identifies and describes three communicative strategies of a family conflict situation (cooperation, confrontation, and neutralization) and their linguistic implementation via three types of communicative tactics. All identified tactics can be distributed according to the degree of emotional negativity from aggressive and mixed to tolerant. The presented material allows concluding that for family communication, the development of a conflict situation often takes a destructive slant due to the ineffectiveness of cooperative strategies. This will allow to further form a pragmalinguistic model of a conflict situation in a family in order to harmonize speech behavior in a small social group.
