In general terms, the main linguistic features of the artistic style of speech include the following:

1. Heterogeneity of the lexical composition: a combination of book vocabulary with colloquial, vernacular, dialect, etc.

Let's turn to examples.

“The feather grass has matured. The steppe was clad in swaying silver for many versts. The wind accepted it resiliently, swooping in, roughening it, bumping it, driving gray-opal waves first to the south, then to the west. Where a flowing air stream ran, the feather grass inclined prayerfully, and a blackening path lay for a long time on its gray ridge.

“Different herbs have blossomed. On the crests of the nikla is a joyless, burnt-out wormwood. The nights faded quickly. At night, in the charred-black sky, innumerable stars shone; month - the Cossack sun, darkening with a damaged sidewall, shone sparingly, white; the spacious Milky Way intertwined with other stellar paths. The tart air was thick, the wind was dry and wormwood; the earth, saturated with the same bitterness of the all-powerful wormwood, yearned for coolness.

(M. A. Sholokhov)

2. The use of all layers of Russian vocabulary in order to implement the aesthetic function.

“Daria hesitated for a minute and refused:

No, no, I'm alone. There I am alone.

Where "there" - she did not even know close, and, going out of the gate, went to the Angara.

(V. Rasputin)

3. The activity of polysemantic words of all stylistic varieties of speech.

“The river boils all in a lace of white foam.

On the velvet of the meadows poppies are reddening.

Frost was born at dawn.

(M. Prishvin).

4. Combinatorial increments of meaning.

Words in an artistic context receive a new semantic and emotional content, which embodies the figurative thought of the author.

“I dreamed of catching the departing shadows,

The fading shadows of the fading day.

I went up the tower. And the steps trembled.

And the steps under my foot trembled.

(K. Balmont)

5. Greater preference for the use of specific vocabulary and less - abstract.

“Sergey pushed the heavy door. The steps of the porch barely audible sobbed under his foot. Two more steps and he is already in the garden.

“The cool evening air was filled with the intoxicating aroma of flowering acacia. Somewhere in the branches, a nightingale chimed and subtly trilled.

(M. A. Sholokhov)

6. A minimum of generic concepts.

“Another essential piece of advice for a prose writer. More specificity. The imagery is the more expressive, the more precisely, more specifically the object is named.

“You have: “Horses chew grain. Peasants prepare “morning food”, “birds rustled”… In the artist’s poetic prose, which requires visible clarity, there should be no generic concepts, if this is not dictated by the very semantic task of the content… Oats are better than grain. Rooks are more appropriate than birds."

(Konstantin Fedin)

7. Widespread use of folk poetic words, emotional and expressive vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms.

“The rosehip, probably, has still made its way along the trunk to the young aspen since spring, and now, when the time has come for the aspen to celebrate its name day, it all flared up with red fragrant wild roses.”

(M. Prishvin).

“New time” was located in Ertelev Lane. I said "fit". This is not the right word. reigned, ruled."

(G. Ivanov)

8. Verbal speech.

The writer calls each movement (physical and / or mental) and change of state in stages. Forcing verbs activates reader tension.

“Grigory went down to the Don, carefully climbed over the fence of the Astakhov base, went to the shuttered window. He heard only frequent heartbeats... He tapped softly on the frame's binding... Aksinya went silently to the window and peered. He saw how she pressed her hands to her chest and heard her indistinct moan escape her lips. Grigory motioned for her to open the window and took off his rifle. Aksinya opened the doors. He stood on the mound, Aksinya's bare hands grabbed his neck. They trembled and beat on his shoulders so, these native hands, that their trembling was transmitted to Grigory.

(M.A. Sholokhov "Quiet Flows the Don")

The dominants of the artistic style are the imagery and aesthetic significance of each of its elements (down to sounds). Hence the desire for freshness of the image, unhackneyed expressions, a large number of tropes, special artistic (corresponding to reality) accuracy, the use of special expressive means of speech characteristic only for this style - rhythm, rhyme, even in prose a special harmonic organization of speech.

The artistic style of speech is distinguished by figurativeness, the wide use of figurative and expressive means of the language. In addition to its typical linguistic means, it uses the means of all other styles, especially colloquial. In the language of fiction, vernacular and dialectisms, words of a high, poetic style, jargon, rude words, professionally business turns of speech, journalism can be used. Means in the artistic style of speech are subject to its main function - aesthetic.

As I. S. Alekseeva notes, “if the colloquial style of speech performs primarily the function of communication, (communicative), scientific and official-business function of communication (informative), then the artistic style of speech is intended to create artistic, poetic images, emotional and aesthetic impact. All linguistic means included in a work of art change their primary function, obey the tasks of a given artistic style.

In literature, language occupies a special position, since it is that building material, that matter perceived by ear or sight, without which a work cannot be created.

The artist of the word - the poet, the writer - finds, in the words of L. Tolstoy, "the only necessary placement of the only necessary words" in order to correctly, accurately, figuratively express the thought, convey the plot, character, make the reader empathize with the heroes of the work, enter the world created by the author.

All this is available only to the language of fiction, so it has always been considered the pinnacle of the literary language. The best in language, its strongest possibilities and the rarest beauty - in the works of fiction, and all this is achieved by the artistic means of the language. The means of artistic expression are varied and numerous. First of all, these are trails.

Tropes - a turn of speech in which a word or expression is used in a figurative sense in order to achieve greater artistic expressiveness. The path is based on a comparison of two concepts that seem to our consciousness to be close in some way.

one). An epithet (Greek epitheton, Latin appositum) is a defining word, mainly when it adds new qualities to the meaning of the word being defined (epitheton ornans is a decorating epithet). Wed Pushkin: "ruddy dawn"; Theorists pay special attention to the epithet with a figurative meaning (cf. Pushkin: “my harsh days”) and the epithet with the opposite meaning - the so-called. an oxymoron (cf. Nekrasov: "wretched luxury").

2). Comparison (Latin comparatio) - revealing the meaning of a word by comparing it with another on some common basis (tertium comparationis). Wed Pushkin: "Youth is faster than a bird." The disclosure of the meaning of a word by determining its logical content is called interpretation and refers to figures.

3). Periphrasis (Greek periphrasis, Latin circumlocutio) is a method of presentation that describes a simple subject through complex turns. Wed Pushkin has a parodic paraphrase: "The young pet of Thalia and Melpomene, generously endowed by Apollo." One of the types of paraphrase is euphemism - a replacement by a descriptive turn of a word, for some reason recognized as obscene. Wed in Gogol: "get by with a handkerchief."

In contrast to the paths listed here, which are built on the enrichment of the unmodified main meaning of the word, the following paths are built on shifts in the main meaning of the word.

four). Metaphor (Latin translatio) - the use of a word in a figurative sense. The classic example given by Cicero is "the murmur of the sea". The confluence of many metaphors forms an allegory and a riddle.

5). Synecdoche (Latin intellectio) - the case when the whole thing is recognized by a small part or when a part is recognized by the whole. The classic example given by Quintilian is "stern" instead of "ship".

6). Metonymy (Latin denominatio) is the replacement of one name of an object by another, borrowed from related and close objects. Wed Lomonosov: "read Virgil".

7). Antonomasia (Latin pronominatio) is the replacement of one's own name with another, as if from the outside, a borrowed nickname. The classic example given by Quintilian is "destroyer of Carthage" instead of "Scipio".

eight). Metalepsis (Latin transumptio) - a replacement representing, as it were, a transition from one path to another. Wed in Lomonosov - "ten harvests have passed ...: here, through the harvest, of course, summer, after summer - a whole year."

Such are the paths built on the use of the word in a figurative sense; theorists also note the possibility of the simultaneous use of a word in a figurative and literal sense, the possibility of a confluence of contradictory metaphors. Finally, a number of tropes stand out in which it is not the basic meaning of the word that changes, but one or another shade of this meaning. These are:

9). Hyperbole is an exaggeration brought to the point of "impossibility". Wed Lomonosov: "running, speedy wind and lightning."

ten). Litotes is an understatement expressing, through a negative turnover, the content of a positive turnover (“a lot” in the meaning of “many”).

eleven). Irony is the expression in words of the opposite meaning to their meaning. Wed Lomonosov's characterization of Catiline by Cicero: “Yes! He is a fearful and meek person ... ".

The expressive means of the language also include stylistic figures of speech or simply figures of speech: anaphora, antithesis, non-union, gradation, inversion, polyunion, parallelism, rhetorical question, rhetorical appeal, silence, ellipsis, epiphora. The means of artistic expression also include rhythm (poetry and prose), rhyme, and intonation.

Introduction

Depending on the scope of the language, the content of the utterance, the situation and goals of communication, several functional and stylistic varieties, or styles, are distinguished, characterized by a certain system of selection and organization of language means in them.

Functional style is a historically established and socially conscious variety of the literary language (its subsystem), functioning in a certain area of ​​human activity and communication, created by the peculiarities of the use of language means in this area and their specific organization.

The classification of styles is based on extralinguistic factors: the scope of the language, the topics determined by it and the goals of communication. The spheres of application of the language correlate with the types of human activity corresponding to the forms of social consciousness (science, law, politics, art). Traditional and socially significant areas of activity are: scientific, business (administrative-legal), socio-political, artistic. Accordingly, they also distinguish styles of official speech (bookish): scientific, official business, journalistic, literary and artistic (artistic). They are opposed to the style of informal speech - colloquial and everyday.

The literary and artistic style of speech stands apart in this classification, since the question of the legality of its allocation into a separate functional style has not yet been resolved, since it has rather blurred boundaries and can use the language means of all other styles. The specificity of this style is also the presence in it of various figurative and expressive means to convey a special property - figurativeness.

1. Literary and artistic style

As we noted above, the issue of the language of fiction and its place in the system of functional styles is solved ambiguously: some researchers (V.V. Vinogradov, R.A. Budagov, A.I. Efimov, M.N. Kozhina, A. N. Vasilyeva, B.N. Golovin) include a special artistic style in the system of functional styles, others (L.Yu. Maksimov, K.A. Panfilov, M.M. Shansky, D.N. Shmelev, V.D. Bondaletov) consider that there is no reason for this. The following are given as arguments against singling out the style of fiction: 1) the language of fiction is not included in the concept of literary language; 2) it is multi-styled, not closed, does not have specific signs that would be inherent in the language of fiction as a whole; 3) the language of fiction has a special, aesthetic function, which is expressed in a very specific use of linguistic means.

It seems to us that the opinion of M.N. Kozhina that “bringing artistic speech beyond the limits of functional styles impoverishes our understanding of the functions of the language. If we deduce artistic speech from among the functional styles, but consider that the literary language exists in a variety of functions, and this cannot be denied, then it turns out that the aesthetic function is not one of the functions of the language. The use of language in the aesthetic sphere is one of the highest achievements of the literary language, and because of this, neither the literary language ceases to be such, getting into a work of art, nor the language of fiction ceases to be a manifestation of the literary language.

The main goal of the literary and artistic style is the development of the world according to the laws of beauty, the satisfaction of the aesthetic needs of both the author of a work of art and the reader, the aesthetic impact on the reader with the help of artistic images.

It is used in literary works of various kinds and genres: stories, novellas, novels, poems, poems, tragedies, comedies, etc.

The language of fiction, despite the stylistic heterogeneity, despite the fact that the author's individuality is clearly manifested in it, still differs in a number of specific features that make it possible to distinguish artistic speech from any other style.

The features of the language of fiction as a whole are determined by several factors. It is characterized by broad metaphor, figurativeness of language units of almost all levels, the use of synonyms of all types, ambiguity, different stylistic layers of vocabulary. In the artistic style (compared to other functional styles) there are laws of perception of the word. The meaning of a word is largely determined by the author's goal setting, genre and compositional features of the work of art, of which this word is an element: firstly, in the context of a given literary work, it can acquire artistic ambiguity that is not recorded in dictionaries, and secondly, it retains its connection with the ideological and aesthetic system of this work and is assessed by us as beautiful or ugly, sublime or base, tragic or comic:

The use of linguistic means in fiction is ultimately subordinated to the author's intention, the content of the work, the creation of the image and the impact through it on the addressee. Writers in their works proceed primarily from the fact that they correctly convey the thought, feeling, truthfully reveal the spiritual world of the hero, realistically recreate the language and image. Not only the normative facts of the language, but also deviations from general literary norms are subject to the author's intention, the desire for artistic truth.

The breadth of coverage of the means of the national language by artistic speech is so great that it allows us to assert the idea of ​​the fundamental potential possibility of including all existing linguistic means (albeit, connected in a certain way) in the style of fiction.

These facts indicate that the style of fiction has a number of features that allow it to take its own special place in the system of functional styles of the Russian language.

2. Figurativeness as a unit of figurativeness and expressiveness

Figurativeness and expressiveness are integral properties of the artistic and literary style, therefore, from this we can conclude that figurativeness is a necessary element of this style. However, this concept is still much broader, most often in linguistic science the question of imagery of a word as a unit of language and speech, or, in other words, lexical imagery, is considered.

In this regard, figurativeness is considered as one of the connotative characteristics of a word, as the ability of a word to contain and reproduce in speech communication the concrete-sensual appearance (image) of an object, fixed in the minds of native speakers, - a kind of visual or auditory representation.

In the work of N.A. Lukyanova "On the semantics and types of expressive lexical units" contains a number of judgments about lexical imagery, which we fully share. Here are some of them (in our formulation):

1. Imagery is a semantic component that actualizes sensory associations (representations) associated with a certain word, and through it with a specific object, a phenomenon called a given word.

2. Imagery can be motivated and unmotivated.

3. The linguistic (semantic) basis of motivated figurative expressive words is:

a) figurative associations that arise when comparing two ideas about real objects, phenomena - metaphorical figurativeness (boil - "to be in a state of strong indignation, anger"; dry - "to worry a lot, take care of someone, something");

b) sound associations - (burn, grunt);

c) the figurativeness of the internal form as a result of word-formation motivation (play, star, shrink).

4. The linguistic basis of unmotivated figurativeness is created due to a number of factors: obscuration of the inner form of the word, individual figurative representations, etc.

Thus, we can say that figurativeness is one of the most important structural and semantic properties of a word, which affects its semantics, valence, emotional and expressive status. The processes of formation of verbal imagery are most directly and organically associated with the processes of metaphorization, that is, they serve as figurative and expressive means.

Figurativeness is “figurativeness and expressiveness”, that is, the functions of a language unit in speech with the features of its structural organization and a certain environment, which reflects exactly the plan of expression.

The category of figurativeness, being a mandatory structural characteristic of each language unit, covers all levels of reflection of the surrounding world. It is precisely because of this constant ability to potentially generate figurative dominants that it became possible to talk about such qualities of speech as figurativeness and expressiveness.

They, in turn, are characterized precisely by the ability to create (or actualize linguistic figurative dominants) sensory images, their special representation and saturation with associations in the mind. The true function of figurativeness is revealed only when referring to a real objective action - speech. Consequently, the reason for such qualities of speech as figurativeness and expressiveness lies in the language system and can be found at any of its levels, and this reason is figurativeness - a special inseparable structural characteristic of a language unit, while already the objectivity of the reflection of the representation and the activity of its construction can be studied only at the level of the functional implementation of the language unit. In particular, it can be vocabulary with a subject-specific meaning, as the main means of representation.

Artistic style - concept, types of speech, genres

All researchers talk about the special position of the style of fiction in the system of styles of the Russian language. But its selection in this general system is possible, because it arises on the same basis as other styles.

The scope of the style of fiction is art.

The “material” of fiction is the national language.

He depicts in words thoughts, feelings, concepts, nature, people, their communication. Each word in a literary text is subject not only to the rules of linguistics, it lives according to the laws of verbal art, in the system of rules and techniques for creating artistic images.

The form of speech is predominantly written, for texts intended to be read aloud, prior recording is required.

Fiction uses equally all types of speech: monologue, dialogue, polylogue.

Type of communication - public.

Genres of fiction known isnovel, short story, sonnet, short story, fable, poem, comedy, tragedy, drama, etc.

all elements of the artistic system of a work are subordinated to the solution of aesthetic problems. The word in a literary text is a means of creating an image, conveying the artistic meaning of a work.

These texts use the whole variety of linguistic means that exist in the language (we have already talked about them): means of artistic expression, and both means of the literary language and phenomena that stand outside the literary language can be used - dialects, jargon, means of other styles and etc. At the same time, the selection of language means is subject to the artistic intention of the author.

For example, the name of the hero can be a means of creating an image. This technique was widely used by writers of the 18th century, introducing “speaking names” into the text (Skotinins, Prostakova, Milon, etc.). To create an image, the author can use the possibilities of polysemy of a word, homonyms, synonyms and other linguistic phenomena within the same text.

(The one that, having sipped passion, only swallowed silt - M. Tsvetaeva).

The repetition of a word, which in scientific and official business styles emphasizes the accuracy of the text, in journalism serves as a means of enhancing the impact, in artistic speech it can underlie the text, create the artistic world of the author

(cf .: S. Yesenin's poem “Shagane you are mine, Shagane”).

The artistic means of literature are characterized by the ability to “increase meaning” (for example, with information), which makes it possible to interpret literary texts in different ways, its different assessments.

So, for example, many works of art were evaluated differently by critics and readers:

• drama by A.N. Ostrovsky called "Thunderstorm" "a ray of light in the dark kingdom", seeing in her main character - a symbol of the revival of Russian life;
• his contemporary saw in The Thunderstorm only "a drama in the family chicken coop",
• modern researchers A. Genis and P. Weil, comparing the image of Katerina with the image of Emma Bovary Flaubert, saw a lot in common and called The Thunderstorm "a tragedy of bourgeois life."

There are many such examples: the interpretation of the image of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Turgenev's, Dostoevsky's heroes.

The literary text has author's originality - the style of the author. These are the characteristic features of the language of the works of one author, consisting in the choice of characters, the compositional features of the text, the language of the characters, the speech features of the author's text itself.

So, for example, for the style of L.N. Tolstoy is characterized by a technique that the famous literary critic V. Shklovsky called “removal”. The purpose of this technique is to return the reader to a living perception of reality and expose evil. This technique, for example, is used by the writer in the scene of Natasha Rostova’s visit to the theater (“War and Peace”): at first, Natasha, exhausted by separation from Andrei Bolkonsky, perceives the theater as an artificial life, opposed to her, Natasha, feelings (cardboard scenery, aging actors), then, after meeting Helen, Natasha looks at the scene through her eyes.

Another feature of Tolstoy's style is the constant division of the depicted object into simple constituent elements, which can manifest itself in the ranks of homogeneous members of the sentence; at the same time, such dismemberment is subordinated to a single idea. Tolstoy, struggling with the romantics, develops his own style, practically refuses to use the actual figurative means of the language.

In a literary text, we also encounter the image of the author, which can be presented as an image - a narrator or an image-hero, a narrator.

This is a conditional . The author ascribes to him, “transfers” the authorship of his work, which may contain information about the personality of the writer, facts of his life that do not correspond to the actual facts of the writer’s biography. By this, he emphasizes the non-identity of the author of the work and his image in the work.

• actively participates in the lives of heroes,
• included in the plot of the work,
• expresses his attitude to what is happening and characters

Language fiction sometimes erroneously called the literary language*. However, in reality, artistic speech is characterized by the fact that all linguistic means can be used here, and not only units of functional varieties of the literary language, but also elements of vernacular, social and professional jargons, and local dialects. The writer subordinates the selection and use of these means to aesthetic goals, which he strives to achieve by creating his work.

In a literary text, various means of linguistic expression are fused into a single, stylistically and aesthetically justified system, to which the normative assessments applied to individual functional styles of the literary language are inapplicable.

One of the features of the artistic style is the use of figurative language tools to fulfill the tasks set by the artist ( Sad time! Eyes charm ... - A. Pushkin). The word in artistic speech is a means of creating images and acts as a means of the artistic meaning of the work.

The selection of words, phrases, the construction of the entire work of art is subject to the author's intention.

To create an image, a writer can use even the simplest language tools. So in A. Chekhov's story "Long Tongue" the character of the heroine, deceitful, stupid, frivolous, is created through the repetition of words in her speech (But, Vasechka, what mountains are there! Imagine high, high mountains, a thousand times higher than church... Fog, fog, fog above... Below are huge stones, stones, stones...).

Artistic speech has a high emotional ambiguity, the author in one text can intentionally “collide” different meanings of the same word (The one that, having sipped passion, only swallowed silt. - M. Tsvetaeva).

The meaning of a literary work is ambiguous, hence the possibility of different readings of a literary text, its different interpretations, and different assessments.

We can say that the artistic style activates the entire arsenal of linguistic means.

Features of the conversational style.

The colloquial style is so different from all others that scientists even proposed another name for it - colloquial speech. The conversational style corresponds to the everyday sphere of communication, uses the oral form, allows all types of speech (monologue, dialogue, polylogue), the mode of communication here is personal. In colloquial style, in contrast to the oral form of other styles, deviations from literary pronunciation are quite significant.

The colloquial variety of the literary language is used in various types of everyday relations of people, provided that communication is easy. Conversational speech differs from written and written not only in form, but also in such features as unpreparedness, unplannedness, spontaneity, and direct contact between participants in communication.

The colloquial variety of the literary language, unlike the written language, is not subject to purposeful normalization, but it has certain norms as a result of the speech tradition. This kind of literary language is not so clearly divided into speech genres. However, here, too, various speech features can be distinguished - depending on the conditions in which communication takes place, on the relationship of the participants in the conversation, etc.

Naturally, a lot of everyday vocabulary is used in colloquial style ( kettle, broom, apartment, sink, faucet, cup). Many words have a connotation of contempt, familiarity, condescension ( to get drunk - to learn, to spit - to speak).

In this style, many words take on a "multi-component" meaning, which is very clearly seen in the examples: How is it going? -Fine. How was your trip? -Fine. No headache? -Fine. To yousimple hamburger or double? itsimple socks or synthetic? For me, please, a common notebook andsimple .

Participles and participles in a colloquial style are almost never used, but very often - particles here, well, then as well as simple, non-union complex and incomplete sentences.

Vocabulary of the colloquial style is predominantly everyday content, specific. The colloquial style is characterized by saving speech means (five-story building, condensed milk, utility room, Kat, Van, etc.). Phraseological units are actively used, which have expressiveness and reducedness (like water off a duck's back, play in a box, heavy on the rise, fool around, wash your hands, etc.). Words with different stylistic coloring are used (weaving of bookish, colloquial, colloquial words) - the car "Zhiguli" is called "Zhiguli", "Zhiguli".

With seeming freedom in the choice of words and sentence construction, the colloquial style is characterized by a large number of standard phrases and expressions. This is natural, because Everyday situations (traveling by transport, communicating at home, shopping in a store, etc.) are repeated, and language ways of expressing them are fixed in place with them.

The literary and artistic style serves the artistic and aesthetic sphere of human activity. Artistic style is a functional style of speech that is used in fiction. The text in this style affects the imagination and feelings of the reader, conveys the thoughts and feelings of the author, uses all the richness of vocabulary, the possibilities of different styles, is characterized by figurativeness, emotionality, and concreteness of speech. The emotionality of the artistic style differs significantly from the emotionality of the colloquial and journalistic styles. The emotionality of artistic speech performs an aesthetic function. Artistic style involves a preliminary selection of language means; all language means are used to create images. A distinctive feature of the artistic style of speech is the use of special figures of speech, the so-called artistic tropes, which give color to the narrative, the power of depicting reality. The function of the message is connected with the function of aesthetic impact, the presence of imagery, the totality of the most diverse means of language, both general language and individual author's, but the basis of this style is general literary language means. Characteristic features: the presence of homogeneous members of the proposal, complex sentences; epithets, comparisons, rich vocabulary.

Substyles and genres:

1) prosaic (epic): fairy tale, story, story, novel, essay, short story, essay, feuilleton;

2) dramatic: tragedy, drama, comedy, farce, tragicomedy;

1) figurative reflection of reality;

2) artistic-figurative concretization of the author's intention (a system of artistic images);

General linguistic features of the literary and artistic style:

1) a combination of language tools of all other functional styles;

2) the subordination of the use of language means in the system of images and the intention of the author, figurative thought;

3) the performance of the aesthetic function by language means.

Language means of artistic style:

1. Lexical means:

1) rejection of template words and expressions;

2) the widespread use of words in a figurative sense;

3) intentional clash of different styles of vocabulary;

4) the use of vocabulary with a two-dimensional stylistic coloring;

5) plural forms of abstract and material nouns;

6) wide use of adjectives and adverbs.

5. Syntactic means:

1) the use of the entire arsenal of syntactic means available in the language;

2) wide use of stylistic figures.

8. The main features of the conversational style.

Features of conversational style

Conversational style - a style of speech that has the following features:

used in conversations with familiar people in a relaxed atmosphere;

the task is to exchange impressions (communication);

the statement is usually laid-back, lively, free in the choice of words and expressions, it usually reveals the author's attitude to the subject of speech and the interlocutor;

characteristic language means include: colloquial words and expressions, emotionally-evaluative means, in particular with suffixes - points-, -enk-. - ik-, - k-, - ovate-. - evat-, perfective verbs with a prefix for - with the meaning of the beginning of the action, treatment;

incentive, interrogative, exclamatory sentences.

opposed to book styles in general;

the function of communication is inherent;

forms a system that has its own characteristics in phonetics, phraseology, vocabulary, syntax. For example: phraseology - running away with the help of vodka and drugs is not fashionable now. Vocabulary - buzz, in an embrace with a computer, climb into the Internet.

Spoken language is a functional variety of the literary language. It performs the functions of communication and influence. Colloquial speech serves such a sphere of communication, which is characterized by the informality of relations between the participants and the ease of communication. It is used in everyday situations, family situations, at informal meetings, meetings, informal anniversaries, celebrations, friendly feasts, meetings, during confidential conversations between colleagues, a boss with a subordinate, etc.

The topics of colloquial speech are determined by the needs of communication. They can vary from narrow everyday to professional, industrial, moral and ethical, philosophical, etc.

An important feature of colloquial speech is its unpreparedness, spontaneity (Latin spontaneus - spontaneous). The speaker creates, creates his speech immediately "clean". As the researchers note, linguistic conversational features are often not realized, not fixed by consciousness. Therefore, often when native speakers are presented with their own colloquial statements for normative assessment, they evaluate them as erroneous.

The following characteristic feature of colloquial speech: - the direct nature of the speech act, that is, it is realized only with the direct participation of the speakers, regardless of the form in which it is realized - in dialogical or monologue. The activity of the participants is confirmed by utterances, replicas, interjections, and simply sounds made.

The structure and content of colloquial speech, the choice of verbal and non-verbal means of communication are greatly influenced by extralinguistic (extralinguistic) factors: the personality of the addresser (speaker) and addressee (listener), the degree of their acquaintance and proximity, background knowledge (the general stock of knowledge of speakers), speech situation (the context of the statement). For example, to the question "Well, how?" depending on the specific circumstances, the answers can be very different: "Five", "Met", "I got it", "Lost", "Unanimously". Sometimes, instead of a verbal answer, it is enough to make a gesture with your hand, give your face the right expression - and the interlocutor understands what the partner wanted to say. Thus, the extralinguistic situation becomes an integral part of communication. Without knowledge of this situation, the meaning of the statement may be incomprehensible. Gestures and facial expressions also play an important role in colloquial speech.

Spoken speech is uncodified speech, the norms and rules of its functioning are not fixed in various dictionaries and grammars. She is not so strict in observing the norms of the literary language. It actively uses forms that qualify in dictionaries as colloquial. "Litter razg. does not discredit them," writes the well-known linguist M.P. Panov. "The litter warns: do not call the person with whom you are in strictly official relations a darling, do not offer him to shove him somewhere, do not tell him that he is lanky and at times grumpy. In official papers, do not use the words look, relish, go home, penny. Isn't it sound advice?"

In this regard, colloquial speech is opposed to codified book speech. Conversational speech, like book speech, has oral and written forms. For example, a geologist is writing an article for a special journal about mineral deposits in Siberia. He uses book speech in writing. The scientist makes a presentation on this topic at an international conference. His speech is bookish, but the form is oral. After the conference, he writes a letter to a work colleague about his impressions. The text of the letter - colloquial speech, written form.

At home, in the family circle, the geologist tells how he spoke at the conference, which old friends he met, what they talked about, what gifts he brought. His speech is colloquial, its form is oral.

Active study of colloquial speech began in the 60s. XX century. They began to analyze tape and manual recordings of natural natural speech. Scientists have identified specific linguistic features of colloquial speech in phonetics, morphology, syntax, word formation, and vocabulary. For example, in the field of vocabulary, colloquial speech is characterized by a system of its own ways of nomination (naming): various types of contraction (evening - evening newspaper, motor - motor boat, to enter - to an educational institution); ambiguous phrases (Is there anything to write about? - a pencil, a pen, Give me something to hide - a blanket, a blanket, a sheet); one-word derivatives with a transparent internal form (opener - can opener, rattle - motorcycle), etc. Spoken words are highly expressive (porridge, okroshka - about confusion, jelly, slur - about a sluggish, spineless person).
