Cоmmunicative registers as means of expressing author’s position in monologue speech

Abstract

During monologue speech, one does not take into consideration author’ position. In monologue utterance of learners, as a rule, the author’s position was absent. An academician Zolotova—pointed out five communicative registers of speech: reproductive, informative, generative, voluntive and reactive. They may be taken as means of the teaching of expressing author’s position. In the work is described the functioning of these communicative registers of speech in semantic types of a text, suggested by Passov. In the framework of each type is shown functioning of the most frequently used registers, defining the role of a speaker toward the information of a text: ‘the person who observes’, ‘the person who participates in social events’, ‘the person who gives information’, ‘the person who encourages’, ‘the person who reacts to some events’ and ‘the person who generates information’
