Abstract

As our research showed, responsives’ classification has to be based on their categorical features. Answer is a verbal response on causator induced by question. In case of similar interpretation of responses, we will have an opportunity to distinguish direct and indirect meanings of speech act. The given approach makes it possible to single out “the answer” from other types of “response reaction” that may be expressed by different kinesics means and even by more complicated communicative action – i.e. a deed. We have to remind that forms of “response reaction” are not always caused by question that is another factor related to the specificity of responses. Ontological features of the latter are a speech form of reaction that differs it from semiotic equivalents (nod of the head, gesture, communicative silence etc.). It should be noted that taxonomisation of semiotic equivalents of responses is of great importance for foreigners in language learning process. Unfortunately, within the limits of the present study we have no possibility to discuss in more detail the given problem, since it creates a risk of deviation from the basic subject. While representing the part of dialogue integrity, responses, as it was mentioned before, are closely connected to interrogative part. The specificity of linkage revelation in dialogue text has its peculiarities and depends on number of factors: on balance of relationship containing subjective and objective factors and determining communication strategy of respondents, as well as on semantic and formal sides of causation (on interrogative sentence).
