Splitting of the Speaker during the “Face-Work” of the Hearer

Abstract

In the paper we present a method of speech situations’ analysis, in which the communicants work up their own “face” and the interlocutor’s “face”. The method is seeking to consider the perlocutionary intention of the speaker for himself, the perlocutionary intention of the speaker for the hearer, the evaluation by the speaker of the felicity of his perlocutionary intention for himself, the evaluation by the speaker of the felicity of his impact on the hearer.
