Utterance form and illocutionary force

Publication at Faculty of Education |

Abstract

The article deals with the relation of utterance form and its illocutionary force/value. It presents the variants of simultaneous derivation of syntactic construction and its illocution.

The material has shown that only elementary illocutions can be generated by the means of syntax. The interpretation of an individual utterance always depends on pragmalinguistic factors.
