Functional peculiarities of pragmatic types of interrogative utterances in English aviation texts.

The article studies the pragmatic aspects of interrogative utterances in English-language aviation texts. The research points out the importance of taking into account the speaker’s communicative intentions, conditions of communication, as well as the role of nonverbal components in interpreting meanings of utterances. The relevance of the current research is emphasized in the light of the modern approach in linguistics which considers language primarily as a means of live communication, highlighting the necessity of comprehensive analysis of linguistic phenomena in speech. The aim of the study is to consider the functional peculiarities of interrogative utterances in Modern English. The analysis is conducted on the basis of aviation movie scripts, illustrating specific features of communication during aviation incidents where precise comprehension of message is crucially important. Particular attention is given to the study of the functional meanings of interrogative utterances in professional discourse. During the research, such methods as description, generalization, comparison and functional analysis are employed. The results of the study demonstrate the significance of considering pragmatic intentions when interpreting interrogative utterances. These conclusions are valuable for optimizing communication in specialized texts, especially in the aviation sector, where accuracy of information perception determines successful interaction and misunderstanding is unacceptable. The article stands out due to its novelty, since there are currently no similar studies on the subject matter. The materials have allowed identifying the functional peculiarities of interrogative utterances, pointing to the frequent use of not only indirect questions, but also indirect ones, which significantly expands the range of speaker’s communicative intentions. The research contributes to improving language practices in critical situations, enhancing both the quality and efficiency of communication in the aviation field.
