Abstract
The article is devoted to the description of the taxonomy of speech genres functioning in the Russian speakers’ linguistic consciousness. Basing on the analysis of associative relations between genre-generating stimuli, which serve as a basis for comprehension and evaluation of speech genres, and speech genre associates, it is shown that speech genres “names” are designations of stereotypical images existing in the Russian speakers’ minds and they are conditioned by the national-cultural specificity of these images representation. The author concludes that genre-generating stimuli are designations of typical interactive speech actions, intentions, intentional states, speech stereotypes, addresser and addressee factors, a typical consituation, etc.
