SPEECH ACT NOMINATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article studies nomination of various aspects of a speech act by means of phraseological units of the French language based on the speech act theory. The author considers a possibility of structuring a speech act not only within the framework of the traditional speech act theory, in the form of final products of speech activity, but also taking into account the psycho-emotional essence of the language. As a result of the study, it is found that one may identify and describe phraseological units of the French language using certain pragmalinguistic criteria, which reflect various mental processes of a person. The author comes to the conclusion that the appeal to the latest achievements in pragmalinguistics, which highlights the verbal and cogitative aspect of human speech activity, allows us to confirm the idea that there is a specific intermediate language between external speech and the “language” of the brain, which has phraseological units as nominees.
