INDIRECT MEANS OF EXPRESSING PRE-SEQUENCED ADVICE (DATA: RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN SOCIO-CULTURES)
The article contains the analysis of means used by American and Russian students to express pre-sequenced advice indirectly. The results of the research with the use of questionaries show that American students use indirect means of expressing pre-sequenced advice more often than Russian students. American students use assertives more often than commissives and expressives, especially at official and inofficial relationships between communicators. In contrast to that, Russian students tend to use expressives amd commisives along with assertives, especially at inofficial relationships.
Keywords: contrastive pragmatics, directive speech acts, pre-sequenced advice, indirect communication
