Abstract

The use of directive speech acts represented by interjections in professional communication in the Army, the Navy, in sports, cinema and television and some other fields of human joint activities is analysed. The examples of transposition of such units into another sphere of use are considered. Conventionally determined meaning of such interjections is emphasised. The material is amply illustrated with relevant examples
