COMMUNICATIVE PERSONALITY IN ROMANTIC DISCOURSE

Nowadays there is a significant number of studies devoted to the consideration of human communication strategies in the communication process. It should be noted that communication strategies cannot be separated from communicative tactics, which are practical steps in the real process of speech interaction, reflecting the communicative intentions of the communicants. At each stage of romantic communication, communicants use certain communication strategies and tactics, the key or general goal of which is to achieve the need for mutual love. For this, romantic partners choose certain linguistic means that make up the speech portrait of the romantic partner's personality. The study of the communicative type shows that it is represented in various types of discourse. The romantic discourse is considered as a sign system, including verbal and non-verbal signs, which are aimed at serving the sphere of personality-oriented communicative communication that occurs between romantic partners. Typical characteristics of romantic discourse are dialogic / monologic nature; informativeness; evaluativeness; a sense of overvaluation of an object, emotionality; syntonic perception of the world; ritualization; kryptonymicesotericity; reduction in communication distance; thematic recursiveness; reduction of verbal signs. In the focus of the communicative type as linguistic personality is the communicative behavior of a person, characterized by three aspects: value, conceptual (cognitive) and behavioral. Considering a romantic personality, we are talking about satisfying the need for love, in particular for mutual love. Those communication strategies and tactics that the romantic partner uses at different stages of romantic communication are subordinate to this goal. The general and subordinate communication strategies are distinguished. The first one is realised at all stages of romantic relationships and the second one is realised only at certain stages. The general strategy is verbalized through communicative acts in the speech activity of the communicants, while the auxiliary one resorts to a wider set of verbal and non-verbal linguistic means, including compliments, etiquette and neutral etiquette expressions, a smile, etc. The use of these communication strategies and tactics in general is aimed at obtaining a communicative, emotional response from the listener, and, consequently, attaining the motive and goal of the romantic partner - the need to love and be loved.
