THE MEANING OF UTTERANCE IN THE CONTEXT’S “COBWEB”

Summary/Abstract: In the process of communication a speaker influences his listener and encourages the listener in understanding his intention. Themeaning that the speaker has in mind is not always the same as the objective meaning of the utterance. Rather frequently the sameutterance may have multiple meanings that are situationally determined and formalized. In the process of communication the listenerdifferentiates them by the intonation and context. The ability to feel and recognize emotional and expressive shades of utterancemeanings, to select a desired response in a given situation, and to find the right intonation facilitates in communication and mutualunderstanding. A chosen response sets the tone, determines the atmosphere of the dialogue and its final outcome. For foreigners thesemeanings often come as incomprehensible and sometimes are rather unexpected, therefore, this problem should be addressed in thecourse of foreign students’ language training.
