Abstract

The article covers an attempt to supplement the semantic aspect of the reflexive with the pragmatic approach. Its place among speech acts is determined, as well as the notion of autoquesitive is introduced to define reflexive structures with interrogative verbs. The situations of the speaker ‘splitting’ into the addressant and addressee are analysed. Certain means for achieving the perlocutive effect are determined.
