Abstract

Summary. The article studies the functions of the language game, which are determined by the author’s intention and expressed in a particular textual organization of a discourse as a means of implication of pragmatic effect. It analyzes the difference in the understanding of the term «the language game» in modern linguistics, as well as some debatable approaches to differentiating the concepts of «the language game» and «the situational game». It proves that the language game phenomenon appears as a deviation from the normative use of a certain language unit, a deviation from language stereotypes, which connects the language game with a deviation from rules of pragmatic use of language resources.
