On the Role of the Phatic Function of Intonation in Russian
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
This paper investigates the phatic function of intonation in Russian by recording and analysing 11 female native speakers of standard Moscow Russian. This paper shows that differences in intonation pattern of a sentence are associated with differences in degree of listener´s involvement in the speech. Intonation pattern of an utterance having phatic function appears to be determined by 1) the speaker´s readiness to talk to evoke the listener´s attention ; 2) the speaker´s intention to continue the communication. Some emphasis is placed on the relationship between intonation pattern of an utterance and speaker-listener interaction.
Keywords: intonation, phatic function, speech contact, communication
