Summary/Abstract: The interaction between verbal and nonverbal means is distinctively reflected in the dramatic text which is regarded as the analog of spontaneous conversational speech. Specifically, the material of the study is Bukovynian dramatic art that is distinguished by its thematic variety and simplicity of plot reproduction. The implicature of dramatic text implements the interplay between cue (verbal communication) and stage direction (nonverbal communication), represents the artistic integrity that provides its comprehensive pragmatic impact on the addressee. The implicatures are distributed into two groups in the dramatic text: 1) implicatures that capture characters’ actions (actional); 2) implicatures that characterize characters’ speech (speech). The first group represents proper non-verbal and improper non-verbal communicative components. Among proper nonverbal elements the kinesic (tactile gestures, facial expressions, posture, pose, eye contact) and proxemic (communicatively significant changes speakers’ personal space) components of the speech act of are taken into consideration. The article analyzes the implicatures including stage directions that indicate eye contact, their functions in different communicative situations, in particular the ability to transmit characters’ emotions in dramatic works by Bukovynian writers, such as Yu. Fedkovych, S. Vorobkevych, S. Yarychevskyi, I. Syniuk, whose creative contribution vividly represents colloquial-conversational speech of Bukovynians of the second half of XIX – early XX century.
