Annotation.

У статті розглянуто комунікативно-прагматичні особливості вживання кличного від-мінка як мовного індикатора вираження категорії ввічливості в українській мові. Доведено, що кличний відмінок виражає значення привернення й підтримання уваги. Обґрунтовано вживання кличного відмінка, зумовленого реалізацією стратегій позитивної й негативної ввічливості та комунікативно-прагматичними пресупозиціями. Окреслено, що кличний відмі-нок є особливим засобом репрезентації адресата: демонстрування поваги та респекту, а та¬кож солідарності, паритетності, доброзичливості, щирості, емоційності та інтимності.

Abstract

Background: Language indicators represent various patterns of speech acts, including vocative. Analysis of the substantive indication of targeting, expressed by vocative is a promising topic for research.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to analyze the specifics of vocative use as an indicator of polite addressability expression.

Results: The article considers the communicative and pragmatic features of the use vocative as a linguistic indicator of the expression of the politeness category in the Ukrainian language. It is proved that the vocative expresses the importance of attracting and maintaining attention. The authors emphasize the ability of the speaker to control the communicative process through the vocative, implementing a pragmatic strategy of influencing the intellectual, volitional and emotional spheres of the addressee. The use of the vocative due to implementation of strategies of positive and negative politeness and communicative-pragmatic presuppositions is substantiated. It is emphasized that vocative is a special means of representation of the addressee: demonstration of respect and esteem, as well as solidarity, parity, friendliness, sincerity, emotionality and intimacy.

Discussion: Communicative-pragmatic analysis of language indicators of expression of polite addressability allows to include addresses to language universals, which are regulated by social norms, national and cultural affiliation.

Keywords: vocative, politeness category, presupposition, honorary addressives, particular addressives.
