Functional Variation of the Imperative in Discourse: Prosodic Evidence of “Hybridization”

The cognitive-discursive approach used in experimental research helps to reveal specific behavior of language units which is conditioned by particular characteristics the immediate communicative situation. cognitive aspect this describes how human mind works adapt speech production processes ever-changing conditions activity, results changes functions these processes. Since, either oral or written forms, texts are material result acoustic analysis evaluate character modifications sound sequences as well define their intonation structure that facilitates performance utterances discourse. Corpus pragmatic factors maintain and describe influence usage units. relevance lies need have a better understanding more thorough description discourse its correlation production. With goal mind, author applies phonetic paper presents examining process “hybridization” direct imperative utterances, identifying types such “hybridization,” looking at speakers’ activity accompany “hybridization.” Using methodology analysis, shows functional variability unit environments can lead significant intentional meaning unit, i. e., acting interjections. In environments, accompanied marked emphasis semantic constrained psycho-physiological thresholds limitations information processing mechanisms, form “hybrid” combines both an interjection. This be complete partial. maintains illocutionary force utterance due formulaic syntactic intonation, characterized less variation than interjection, complies with codified standard English language. At same time, features correspond 1st 2nd type interjections: “hybrids” interjections consist rare sounds sequences, while retain completely partially.
