IMPLEMENTATION OF MEANS OF ATTRACTING ATTENTION ON THE SCALE OF TONALITY IN THE SITUATION OF “GREETIN” IN ENGLISH

Abstract

The article is dedicated to analysis of the implementation of means of attracting attention in standard speech situations with reference to works of English authors. In the situation of greeting, it helps to identify interpersonal relations between communicants. Authors of works of art, in order to better represent their characters and the relationship between them, often show them at the time of greeting. Specific examples show greetings in symmetrical and asymmetric relations of communicants. Asymmetric relations can be dependent and independent. Dependent relations are the following relations: “master – servant”, “boss – subordinate”. The article also shows that certain verbal greetings correspond to certain gestures, which are also distinguished by stylistic marking, i.e. they are indicators of the tone of communication.
