Abstract:
The research of ambivalence is an actual problem of modern linguistics
because of active promotion of Strategic Ambiguity as one of the major pragmatic categories
in order to understand the complexity of the speaker’s communicative intentions. The
investigation of implicitness as the core of the Strategic Ambiguity is the current research
issue because of the growth of interest in the modern linguistics to the effectiveness of
interpersonal interaction.
The purpose of investigation is to determine the qualifying and classifying features
of strategic ambivalence in order to demonstrate much significance of it in the interpersonal
interactions in comparison with the true ambivalence. The main task of the article is to
analyse different types of strategic ambivalence in the ironic utterances as well as the
mechanisms of optimization of interpersonal interaction on the factual material of English
language and propose a model for determining strategically ambiguous communication.
New prospects of the proposed investigation deal with a number of national and cultural
peculiarities of implicit discourse on the descriptive material of related and non-related
languages in order to increase the efficiency of cross-cultural interpersonal communication.
