Abstract
Aim. To reveal and analyse the significant characteristics of verbal empathic illocutionary types through speech-acting approach.
Methodology. General and special scientific methods were used in the work: communicative and pragmatic analysis, linguistic description.
Results. Qualitative signs of empathic statements in a bipolar dichotomy are highlighted. The interdependence of the considered features in the process of empathic communication is revealed. The communicative and pragmatic markers of empathic speech acts are compared with the basic types of the psychological phenomenon of empathy.
Research implications. The article contributes to the development of the theory of speech activity and the theory of speech influence. Empathic characteristics combine the fields of speech communication research with the psychology of speech behavior. The practical value of the acquired knowledge lies in its use as a communicative regulator of interpersonal communication relationships.
