TACTIC OF EXPLICATION OF DOUBT IN COOPERATIVE AND NONCOOPERATIVE SPEECH STRATEGIES (ON THE MATERIAL OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2014. Issue 10 (151). P. 39-45

In this article we consider such notions as “speech strategy” and “speech tactic”. Based on the Cooperative Principle and the Politeness Principle speech strategies are divided into cooperative and non-cooperative ones. We analyze the tactic of explication of doubt as a means of realization of speech strategies. Speech strategy is defined as a set of speech actions directed at achieving speaker’s goal. We prove that gaining liking from others, friendship’s support, acquiring information, consolation and calming other people strategies, realized by the tactic of explication of doubt, are cooperative ones. Defamation and persuasion strategies, realized by this tactic, are non-cooperative ones, while speech tactic is one or some speech actions which help to implement a strategy.
