Emotional and Stylistic Features of the Ukrainian Indivisible Utterances of Agreement and Disagreement in Comparison with the Other Slavonic Languages

Abstract

Recently there has been an increase of interest in various aspects and components of communication. Many recent linguistic studies have focused on syntactically indivisible utterances as locutions that function in the dialogic form of speech to express modal and emotive meanings. Although a considerable amount of research in various Slavic languages has been devoted to the study of their different aspects, the status of such utterances, features of their functioning and nomination require more detailed consideration. The article elucidates the stylistic and emotionally expressive features of the Ukrainian syntactically indivisible utterances of agreement and disagreement in comparison with Belarusian, Czech and Bulgarian languages, using the case study of the dramatic works. The aspect under discussion is quite prominent in the Slavic languages communication since it determines its relevance, correctness, compliance with the stylistic and etiquette rules.

 The article argues that the system of such statements has its own stylistic and emotionally expressive features, even in closely related languages. Thus, the system of syntactically indivisible utterances in the Ukrainian language is more variable than in Belarusian, and it has a large number of youth and slang expressions. The Czech language system is divided into the vernacular and neutral units, while the Bulgarian language is characterized by greater tolerance of curse vocabulary and uses a great variety of particles which substitute syntactically indivisible utterances.

Key words: agreement, communication, disagreement, Slavic languages, syntactically indivisible utterance, syntax, utterance.
