SMALL SPEECH GENRES IN THE SYSTEM OF ENGLISH SPEECH ETIQUETTE
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the speech-genre organization of the system of English speech etiquette. Speech etiquette is considered as a set of small speech genres realized with the help of cliches. Each of such genres can be described as having а) inherent theme (it is defined through the expression of the concrete intention of a speaking person - to ask, to congratulate, to praise, etc.); b) established set of formular statements attached to a certain thematic situation and differing in their socio-linguistic characteristics; and c) rigidly set dialogical structure. Small speech genres, making up the micro-system of speech etiquette, realize the typified models, the patterns of the organization of the interaction of communicants in various formal and informal situations of communication.
