Abstract
The article considers the genre fixation of various units of address. It focuses on the forms of address and their vocative functions in the genres of literature. According to the application of the methods of structural and component analysis, two main functions of the variants of salutation in literature are revealed: calling and phatic functions. The phatic function in terms of emotional-expressive and axiological components presents another level of complexity. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that the realization of the vocative potential of common nouns depends on their semantic parameters, to a certain extent. In the considered literature works a greater vocative potential belongs to the nominal names with the "status" roles of their referent that manifest themselves in the social or related hierarchy, according to which they are opposed to those nouns, which are semantically adjacent to them. At the same time, words with positive evaluation are likely to act as salutations supporting an act of communication that has already started; as for relational words, they represent important vocative means, due to their strong identifying function as well as their ability to maintain communication. The article features social and communicative relationships in situations, where it is necessary to observe the “social distance” and adhere to the “principle of courtesy” and the “principle of cooperation”.
