Abstract
The article looks upon communicative functions of utterances. In the author’s
 point of view, rules of speech are dependent on the aim of communication,
 situation of speech, communicants’ statuses, properties of speech
 channel and supposition. These aspects of communication are reflected in
 the context of English language studies. Using the theory of dictema and
 factors of speech regulation as the basis for research the author analyses
 indirect utterances in publicistic texts read at English language lessons.
 Interpretation activities of students help to discover implicit properties of
 the indirect utterances and notional components of texts. The aims of utterances
 and communicative intention are seen as the basis of post suppositional
 research in reading and listening of English language texts. The
 author singles out the following functions of indirect utterances: linking and
 compression of information, escalation of information, communicative emphasis,
 expressing emotions and assessments, confirmation, imperative
 function, starter in a conversation, informational and emphatic assertion
 function, duality of opinion function and providing background knowledge.
