COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY OF SPEECH ACT INVITATION IN ENGLISH DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of communicative strategy Invitation in English discourse. The historically formed peculiarities of English-speaking communicants’ attitude toward the ways of expressing invitation are also defined in order to highlight their culturological originality. The main focus is directed towards the lingual expressions of invitation in different communicative situations. Considerable emphasis is laid on the means of softening unambiguous invitations as part of the strategy of distancing. The empiric material for the research is represented by authentic literature of Englishspeaking countries of the 21-st century.
