Abstract

The article examines the features of communication in the plays of the Theatre of the Absurd. The absence in the act of communication of the most important components such as objectives, motives and needs - leads to communication breakdown. The consequence of communication breakdown is language disintegration, which we observe in the case of lack of lexical and grammatical connections, the absence of semantic connection between the objects of conversation, in the illogical inferences of the heroes, in the multidimensional dialogue. The material of the research is the plays "The Bald Singer" by E. Ionesco and "Waiting for Godot" by S. Beckett.
