SOCIOPRAGMATIC AND LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECTS OF SPEECH UTTERANCE, PRAISE AND COMPLIMENT

Abstract

The relevance of this article lies in the fact that, despite the existence of numerous works on the theory of speech acts and their classifications, the compliment remains insufficiently studied in all its features. Learning a compliment is important when learning Russian in order to master the linguistic realities and acquire speakers' communicative competence. In Russian and foreign linguistics, the study of speech interaction from the perspective of the influence of society on it is relevant today, so a compliment can be considered as a social strategy. The purpose of the article is to analyze the speech act of compliment from the perspective of the theory of speech acts and describe its functioning in Russian sociopragmatics and linguoculture.
