Abstract

The subject matter of the article is the semantic analysis of conventional speech strategies employed by an English addressee in compliment downgrade or disagreement responses. The linguistic analysis of English compliment discourse as a stereotyped genre of verbal interaction with the emphasis on ‘the addressee factor’ exposes the most common lexical and syntactic markers of the addressee’s response strategies aimed at downgrading qualities or achievements praised.
