PECULIARITIES OF EXPRESSING SPEECH ACTS OF ADVICE IN MODERN UDMURT LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article considers the main ways of expressing speech acts of advice in the system of modern Udmurt language. An empiric material collected from the literary sources of Udmurt prose of the 1920s-90s shows that imperative speech acts of advice can be expressed explicitly and implicitly. To express advice explicitly, the Udmurt language use specific forms, such as imperative sentences, participial forms and causative verbs. For implicit expression of advice, non-specific forms are used, mainly interrogative and declarative sentences, the imperative function of which is secondary.
