1. Speech as an activity

Vyhotskyi, Luriys and others believe that speech is like a human’s activity. It consists of four major elements:

1. Motive which is the purpose of the beginning of an activity;

2. Purpose is a realized imagination of a result which must be reached in communication;

3. Action is a realization of something with a concrete purpose;

4. Operation is the method of realization the action.

(dialogue 1)

2. Speech typology

1. According to the participation/non-participation of a language code. It is divided into verbal (dialogue 2) and non-verbal (dialogue 3).

2. According to the form of language code means realization. It is subdivided into oral (dialogue 4), written (dialogue 5) and printed (this kind of speech was not invented in that time) communications.

3. According to the theme of speech (dialogue 6).

4. According to the purpose of speech. It is divided into formal (dialogue 7) and informal (dialogue 8).

5. According to the measure of officialism. It is divided into official (dialogue 9) and non-official (dialogue 10).

6. According to the quantity of interlocutors. It is divided into MIZHOSOBUSTNISTE (dialogue 11); communication in frames of a small communicative group (dialogue 12); public (dialogue 13); mass (was not found in the film); cross cultural communications (dialogue 14).

7. According to the social features. It is divided into personal oriented (dialogue 15b) and social oriented (dialogue 16).

8. According to the freedom of a choice of a partner. It is divided into initiative (dialogue 17) and forced (dialogue 18) speeches.

9. According to the length of speech. It is divided into constant, periodic, long-term, short-term. In this film constant coincides with long-term communication (dialogue 19) and periodic coincides with short-communication (20).

3. Laws of speech

1. The law of mirror reflection: the interlocutors try to imitate the each others style, while communicating (dialogue 21).

2. The law of the dependence of the effectiveness of communication on communicative efforts: the more a speaker spend communicative efforts, the more effective his speech is (dialogue 22).

3. The law of communicative self- remainance: usually a new idea doesn’t taken into account, doubtful. Sometime later it can be proved (dialogue 23).

4. The law of communicative rhythm: it depends on profession, gender, age and other features (24).

5. The law of creditability of comprehensible utterance: the easier the speaker express his thoughts, the easier the receiver understand his messages (dialogue 25).

6. The law of attracting a criticism: the more famous a human-being is, the more rumours appear (dialogue 26).

7. The law of emotional affliction: the “same-mooded” persons want to gather together in a group and conduct a conversation (dialogue 27).

8. The law of rapid spreading of negative information. (28).
