COMMUNICATIVE OPPOSITIONS OF SPEECH INTERACTION IN SITUATIONS OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION WITH AN OUTSIDER HEARER

Abstract

The article considers issues related to the study of communicants’ interaction in the presence of an outsider hearer. The research presents the general analysis of the situation itself, the definition of the main speech forms of its verbal realisation, the oppositions of communicative interaction, as well as the factors of its successful implementation. The authors focus on the idea that this type of communicative situation possesses special features of verbal representation, based on speakers’ consideration/ non-consideration of an outsider hearer’s communicative status. The identification of nine nuclear oppositions of interaction between communicants in the situation of “speaker-listener and outsider hearer” and three main types of oppositional bilateral relations in the “speaker-listener and outsider communicant” case gives the grounds to speak about the special communicative status of the outsider hearer whose communicative behavior determines strategies and tactics of the interaction on the whole.
