Abstract

As one of the vital means of regulating interpersonal relations, apology helps to restore and maintain harmonious relations between interlocutors. Apology is often viewed as a hybrid speech act that encompasses various communicative intentions. In the present paper an attempt is made to classify the main apology speech situations, as well as to present some of the structural, functional and communicative-pragmatic peculiarities of these situations.
