Abstract. The theory of speech genres, studying relatively stable thematic, compositional and stylistic types of utterances (texts) is rightly considered one of the most important areas of modern linguistics. Especially active is the theory of speech genres in Russia. Especially active the theory of speech genres is developing in Russia. This is reflected in the publication of numerous articles and monographs on the topic.
The article makes a certain contribution to the theory of speech genres, as it analyzes speech genres “Praise” and “Compliment” which are very similar thematically, compositionally and stylistically in Russian lingua-culture.
The relevance of the article lies, first of all, in the choice of the theme, since so far there have been no studies comparing these speech genres on the material of the Russian language.
The article touches upon the analysis of the communicative goals facing the addressees of the above mentioned speech genres. The communicative goal is known to be the main, typologically significant feature of any speech genre. Namely the various communicative goals facing the addressees of the speech genres “Praise” and “Compliment” in Russian lingua-culture make it possible to quite clearly distinguish these speech genres from each other, especially given the frequent similarity of the analyzed genres in terms of their vocabulary and syntactic tools.
In addition, the relevance of the publication is confirmed by the fact that, if domestic and foreign linguists have studied in detail compliment both as an utterance and as a speech genre in Russian lingua-culture and its analogues in other lingua-cultures, scientific works studying praise both as an utterance and as a speech genre are not very numerous.
Key words: speech genre, praise, compliment, Russian lingua-culture,communicative goal.
