Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the linguocognitive, functional and kinetic features of speech acts of evasion, in particular evasive responses as a reaction to a question. The paper discusses various cognitive mechanisms of evasion, as well as non-verbal means that can accompany these mechanisms. Particular attention is paid to quantitative analysis, which is used to verify the data obtained. The work is novel in that it is the first to consider evasions as a polymodal phenomenon. As a result, it has been proved that the basis of evasive responses are certain cognitive mechanisms that can be accompanied by deictic gestures in speech.
