Abstract

The paper covers the analysis of the formulaic utterances organized as a slogan. Slogans, mottos, appeals and claims belong to such utterances and can be united in one general group of discursive performance formulae. The author gives the definition of the concept of “discursive performance formula” which is considered in the context of such communicative situation as the performance, highlights the forms of communication of performance type, within the frames of which the considered discursive performance formulae are implemented, and defines the sphere of science industries that study such utterances.

From the point of view of structural and semantic aspect, the discursive performance formulae are the specific constructions. The paper defines the most frequency constructions, which semantic core is the imperative meaning. In the linguistic science, the impellent is considered by different adjacent linguistic disciplines: semantics, morphology, syntax. The author supposes that the description of various approaches will allow making a definite contribution to the characteristics of imperative means existing in the language, taking into account various linguistic disciplines and areas of specialization.

This paper considers the discursive performance formulae from the point of view of morphological approach. The author specifies standard imperative structures, the structures of mutual action and the third person imperative with the relative morphological markers. In addition to standard forms, particular specific forms of utterances based on morphological markers are specified as well. The author gives the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the utterances that act as the discursive performative formulae. 

In the result of the analysis, the author determined that the constructions formed using the morphological means are the most frequently what is caused by their efficiency as “the constructions in action”.
