COGNITIVE INTERPRETATION OF THE SPEECH ACT (STUDY OF EMOTIONAL-VOLITIONAL VERBS OF SPEAKING)

Abstract

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to cognitively interpret the act of speaking, denoted metonymically and metaphorically by verbs, the basic meaning of which is not related to the act of speaking. The relevance of work is due to the insufficient study of the mentioned group of predicates and the lack of works on the analyzed units semantics. Meanwhile, these verbs have a great potential for describing the speech act. Thus, one of the features of the verbs under study is the absence of indication of the markedness of a particular emotion in their meaning. Methodology and Approach. To solve the research problems of selection, systematization and analysis of the material, a modern integrated methodology of the triangulation approach is used, which ensures a high validity of the results obtained. Results. The description of the semantics of the emotional-volitional verbs of speaking “ukhat'”, “akhat'”, “okhat'”, “oykat'” and, specifically, their ability to act as a representative of a speech act is the result of the study. Theoretical and Practical implications. The theoretical and practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using the proposed methodology for other lexical-semantic groups and other languages.
