Abstract
The article presents an analysis of interpersonal pragmatics as a burgeoning field of pragmatic research. The present paper covers the status of interpersonal pragmatics, its methodological foundations, methods and the conceptual apparatus. The author highlights such features of modern research into communicative behaviour as the expansion of the object of research, the use of discourse analysis and recourse to interactionism as the theoretical foundation. The new approach accentuates intersubjectivity in the process of meaning formation and the construction of interpersonal relations, and reveals the multidirectional and multifunctional character of speech acts.
