Verbalization of speech acts using the language means "recommend" and "recommendation"

Аннотация

This article aims to examine the roles of the cognate terms "recommendation" and "recommend," focusing on their semantic implications in the formation of speech acts. The underlying principleposits that thesemantics ofthese terms influence the involvement ofvarious linguisticelements in the execution of a speech act. It is proposed that these terms can be utilized in the construction of the speech acts "recommendation," "advice," and "acquaintance," with the latter being largely archaic and infrequently employed in contemporary Russian. The novelty of thisstudy lies in itsinaugural exploration ofthe speech act "recommendation" withinthe Russian linguistic context. In the speech act of "recommendation," the term "recommend" is deemed irreplaceable by the term "introduce." Conversely, in the context of acquaintance through a third party, modern Russian exclusively employs constructions featuring the verb "I introduce you to someone." Furthermore, the concept of advice is solely articulated through the terms "recommend" and "recommendation." Keywords: speech acts, recommendation, to recommend, directives, prospectivity, advice, recommendation.
