Moreover, the important aspect that helps to specify the illocutive functions of indirect speech acts in Old Russian is their verifiability: the verbal or non-verbal response of the interlocutor as well as the frame constructions, which introduce direct speech (preposition). These constructions are also used in the middle of the utterance (interposition) or at the end of the utterance (postposition).

The groups of interrogative and non-interrogative indirect speech acts have been singled out, each of them having certain typical characteristics. The semantics of non-interrogative utterances in most cases is connected with the expression of indirect meanings of time and aspect of verbal forms. The use of interrogative utterances as indirect speech acts is mostly connected with the changes not only in the illocutive function, but also in the propositional meaning of the predicative unit: interrogative utterances with negations should be interpreted as affirmative non-interrogative utterances and vice versa. The author comes to the conclusion that the use of modern mono-functional indirect speech acts is traditional, since it is identical to their functioning in Old Russian.

Abstract

The article states that communication in Old Russian as well as in modern Russian discourse is characterized by the use of mono-functional and poly-functional indirect speech acts. Moreover, the important aspect that helps to specify the illo-cutive functions of indirect speech acts in Old Russian is their verifiability: the verbal or non-verbal response of the interlocutor as well as the frame constructions, which introduce direct speech (preposition). These constructions are also used in the middle of the utterance (interposition) or at the end of the utterance (postposition). The author of the chronicles observes the communicative purposes of both the speaker and the interlocutor, indicating that the given utterance should be regarded as an indirect speech act. By analyzing the use of mono-functional indirect speech acts in the original dialogue fragments of the Tale of Bygone Years, the author works out their typology. The groups of interrogative and non-interrogative indirect speech acts have been singled out, each of them having certain typical characteristics. The semantics of non-interrogative utterances in most cases is connected with the expression of indirect meanings of time and aspect of verbal forms. The use of interrogative utterances as indirect speech acts is mostly connected with the changes not only in the illocutive function, but also in the pro-positional meaning of the predicative unit: interrogative utterances with negations should be interpreted as affirmative non-interrogative utterances and vice versa.

В статье устанавливается, что для древнерусской коммуникации так же, как и для современного руского дискурса, свойственно употребление монофункциональных и полифункциональных косвенных речевых актов. При этом важным аспектом определения иллокутивных функций древнерусских косвенных речевых актов является их верифицируемость: о том, что высказывание воспринимается в качестве косвенного речевого акта, свидетельствует вербальная и/или невербальная реакция собеседника, а также то, что в рамочных конструкциях, предваряющих и завершающих реплики, автором текста указываются коммуникативные целеустановки говорящего и собеседника. Анализируя использование монофункциональных косвенных речевых актов в оригинальных (не восходящих к другим текстам) диалогических фрагментах "Повести временных лет", автор статьи выстраивает их типологию. Выделяются группы невопросительных и вопросительных косвенных речевых актов, для каждой из которых определяются характерные для нее признаки. Семантика невопросительных высказываний в большинстве случаев связана с выражением непрямых видо-временных значений глагольных форм. Использование вопросительных высказываний в качестве косвенных речевых актов чаще всего связано с изменением не только иллокутивной функции, но и пропозитивного содержания предикативной единицы: воспросительные высказывания с отрицанием должны восприниматься в качестве утвердительных невоспросительных высказываний, и наоборот.

1. State of the Art

One of the basic concepts used in modern communicative science is the notion of the indirect speech act (hereafter—ISA). The ISAs, described in terms of the theory of speech acts [CEP^b 1986], will be regarded as utterances not with direct illocutionary functions, those "arising from the literal meaning of a sentence" [nA^yHEBA 2001: 44], but utterances with indirect functions. The notion of the ISA allows one to allocate within the communicative potential of an utterance, which is a set of its possible illocutionary functions (hereafter—

IF), the main (direct) one, perceived as devoid of context, and the peripheral (indirect) functions, which are realized in the ISA. The recipient should be able to distinguish between the ISAs and the direct speech acts (hereafter— DSA), and adequately interpret the communicative intention of the speaker, incidentally reconstructing the non-explicatory meanings "hidden" in the ISA. The basis of this ability is that "the use of indirect speech acts is, to a greater or lesser extent, conventionalized" [Лайонз 2003: 269].

The types of ISAs characteristic of Russian speech have been streamlined during the study of the modern discourse, which is quite natural. Meanwhile, an analysis of the Old Russian texts shows that statements with indirect IF were also used in Old Russian communication.

Let us now turn to the analysis of the dialogue fragments of the Tale of Bygone Years (hereafter—the TBY).1

The important aspect that helps to define the illocutive functions of ISAs in Old Russian is their verifiability. On the one hand, the IF of the utterance can be established on the basis of the judgment of the response of the interlocutor, who either gives a response or commits a response action. On the other hand, the chronicle dialogue is preceded and followed by a frame construction, which lists the participants of the communicative act, their communicative goals and perlocutionary effect, the specific features of the given speech act, the physical conditions of communication, the author's assessment of the dialogue, etc. For example, in the following fragment И воевода нлчл Стополчь, газдл вь^л^ к^регъ, оуклрлти новгородци, гда: "(а) Что приидосте с Хромьцемь симь, л вы, плотници суще? (b) А пристлвимъ вы Хоромъ рукить нлшихъ". Се слышлвше новгородци и р^шл Мросллву, гако: (с) "Злоутрл переве^емьсл нл ни\ъ. Аще кто не поидеть с

1 The material for this research is the TBY text from the Hypatian Codex published by [nCP.H 1908]. In cases when the text of the Hypatian Codex has certain omissions, they are reconstructed in accordance with the Khlebnikov Chronicle (the comparison of the two chronicles is given in the same edition). In cases when the interpretation of the Hypatian Codex is considered to be erroneous by the TBY researchers engaged in the publication of the text, footnotes are provided to the corresponding places in the Khlebnikov Codex and to the chronicles used to reconstruct the Laurentian Codex: the Laurentian, the Radziwill, and the Academic chronicles [nCP. 1926]. The footnotes generally include the Khlebnikov and Laurentian Codex variations, and if only one of them is used, the absence of the second one indicates the coincidence of its interpretation with the interpretation of the Hypatian Codex. Various interpretations can be useful and even necessary for the analysis of the fragments of the TBY, which are difficult to analyze without consulting the texts of different chronicles.

To split the text into words, the edition of [nCP. 1908] has been used. However, to split the text into sentences and to punctuate it (if punctuation marks were nonexistent in the TBY), modern standards have been used. The parentheses after the examples specify the year of the quoted fragment (in accordance with the Byzantine chronology accepted in the TBY, from the creation of the world, and the timeline of Christianity). In some cases, it was necessary to give a Modern Russian translation of the corresponding fragments.

нами, то сами потне". [. . .] Мрославъ же заоутра, исполчивъ дружину, противу св^ту перевезесА (6524/1016) the voivode of Svjatopolk utters two ISAs, which formally represent an informative question (a) and the message of an intention (b). However, the reaction of the interlocutor (c—the decision to attack the enemy) and the evaluation of the statement IF by the chronicler in the framework structure (оукарлти), as well as the fact that he points to the utterance of the voivode as the cause of the reaction of the Novgorod citizens (се слышавше), confirm that (a) and (b) are indeed ISAs.

The same example shows another important feature of the Old Russian utterances: many of them are illocutionarily poly-functional, which means that the statement can be used simultaneously in several illocutionary functions in the course of one locutionary act.2 For example, the utterance (a) is both an evaluative judgment (Зачем вы пришли... ? = Незачем вам было приходить ...!) and an insult (the propositive content of the utterance should appear offensive to the interlocutor: the speaker "lowers" the social status of both the interlocutor and his leader). Statement (b) is also polyfunctional: it not only informs about the intention of the speaker but it is also an insult. While (a) is an ISA (the speaker does not expect an answer, and the interlocutor does not perceive this "question" as an actual question), then (b) is a DSA: in order to understand the offensiveness of (b), it is necessary to link it with (a) and to consider (b) as an intention motivated by a derogatory assessment of the abilities of the interlocutor (вы, плотници суще ^ приставимъ вы хоромъ рукить нашихъ).

In this article, we are going to turn to the analysis of mono-functional ISAs—utterances used with one IF.3 When identifying the types of ISAs, we first list the basic IF of the utterance (the one in which it could be used as a DSA), and then the indirect IF of the utterance (the one in which it is used as an ISA in the given dialogue fragment).

2. Typology of Mono-functional Indirect Speech Acts in the Speech of TBY Characters

I. Statement Concerning the Present 1. Statement Concerning the Past

(1) (a) Црь же наоутр^га призва га, и ре црь: "Дл глють посли русции". №ни же ркоша: "Тлко глть кназь нашь: «Хочю им^ти люковь съ царе гр^ць-кымъ св^ршену прочага вса л^та»" (6479/971), (b) И заоутра №льга, с^дащи в терем^, посла по гости, и приидоша к нимъ, глюще: "Зоветь вы №льга на чть велику" (6453/945).

2 For details, see [Савельев 2016а].

3 The issue of the illocutionarily poly-functional ISA is developed in [Савельев 2016а].

The speaker informs of an event that took place prior to the moment of speech, using the present tense. The reason for using the present tense is as follows: under the conditions of the violation of the canonical speech situation, he is guided by the time when his interlocutor gets the message. The most illustrative example in this regard is (1a): the Greek king hears the words of the Russian prince as if they were uttered in his presence.4

2. Statement Concerning the Intention of the Speaker

(2) И посла къ деревлАно, ркущи сице: "Се оуже иду к влмъ, дл пристроите меды мьногы оу городл, идеже оукисте мужл моего, дл попллчюсА нлдъ грокомъ е и створю тры^ну мужю моему". №ни же, слышлвше, свезошл меды многы з^ло (6453/945).

When pronouncing the given utterance, Princess Olga is only going to visit the Drevlyane, however, as in (1a) and (1b), she focuses on the time when the interlocutor gets her message.

3. Statement Concerning the Intention of a Person Who is not Involved in the Dialogue

(3) Оу едину нощь прислл по ма кназь Двдъ. И приидохъ к нему, и с^длху дружинл wколо его, и послди ма и рече ми: "[. . .] Дл се, Влсилю, шлю та: ^ди к Влсилкови со симл wтрокомл, и молви ему тлко: «№же хощеши посллти мужл своего, и воротитсл Володимеръ, то вдлм ти которыи люко городъ: люко Всево-ложь, люко Шеполь, люко Перемиль»". Азъ же идохъ к Влсилкови и пов^длхъ ему всю р^чь Двдву. №н же рче: "[. . .] Послю к Володимеру, дл кышл не прольгали крови мене д^ла. Но сему ми дивно: длеть ми грлдъ свои, лко и Терековль, мога волость, пождлвше и нн^" (6605/1097).

Prince Vasilko talks of the proposal of Prince Davyd, pointing out that the latter is giving him one of the cities; however, Prince Davyd has only declared his intention, the implementation of which depends on the further actions of Prince Vasilko. Thus, Prince Vasilko judges the situation as if the condition of

4 The use of the present tense in this type of context is not necessary (for example, По семъ же придоша н^мци ГО Рима, глюще, гако: "Придохомъ послами ГО папежа". И ркоша ему: "Реклъ ти пап ежь: «Землл твога гако землл на, а в^ра ваша не акы в^ра наша». [. . .]" (6494 / 986), И рекоша новгородци Стополку: "Се мы, кндже, прислани к тов^, и рекли намъ тако: «Не хощемъ Стополка, ни сна его. [. . .]»" (6610 / 1102); the choices of verbal forms in the context of distant communication are described in detail in the article [Савельев 2016б].

It should also be pointed out that in modern communication, when the rules of the canonical speech situation are violated, we often convey the words of another person using statements like Александра просит Вам передать... , Александра говорит, что. . . , Александра обещает Вам. . . , etc. together with the possible variants like Александра просила Вам передать. . . , Александра сказала, что. . . , Александра обещала, что. . .

Prince Davyd has already been fulfilled. In the preceding part of his utterance, Prince Vasilko does agree to fulfill the request of his interlocutor.

4. Call for Action

(4) (a) Отослав же и Всеволодъ посласта кь ИзАславу, глще: "[. . .] Аще ли хощеши гн^вомъ ити и погукити гра, то в^си, гако намъ жаль w^a стола". То слышавъ, ИзАславъ wстави лахы, иде с Болеславомъ, мало лаховъ поемъ (6577/1069), (b) И послашасА паки кигане к Володимеру, глюще: "Поиди, кна-же, Киеву. Аще ли не поидеши, то в^си, гако много зла оудвигнетьсА. [. . .]". Ое же слышавъ, Володимеръ поиде в Киевъ (6621/1113).

Using the present tense, the speaker urges the interlocutor to perform the action (сам знаешь > знай, прими во внимание). It is significant that the verb used here is в^д^ти: modeling the alleged mental state of the interlocutor, who supposedly knows himself what is reported, the speaker is "forcing" him to accept his point of view.

5. Call for Joint Action

(5) (a) И сь^хаста, и рече РедедА кь Мьстиславу: "Не wружьемь са кье-в^, но корькою". И гаста са короти крепко (6530/1022), (b) Половци же, слышавше, гако идуть русь, и сокрашасА кес числа и начаша думати. И рече Русока: "Просимъ мира в руси, гако крепко са имуть кити с нами, мы ко много зла сворохомъ Рускои земли" (6611/1103).

As in (4a) and (4b), in (5a) and (5b) the speaker is talking as if the desirable joint action has already been committed.

6. Institutional Statement

(6) Приидоша Отополкъ, и Володимеръ, и Двдъ Игоревичь, и Василко Рости-славичь, V Двдъ Отославичь, и кратъ его №легъ, и снашЛ Люкчи на строенье мира. И гше к сок^, рекуще: "Почто гукимъ Рускую землю [. . .]? №сел^ им^мь-са по едино срце и съклюд^мь Рускую землю. Кождо держить wчьчину свою: Стополку — Киевъ ИзАславль, Володимеръ — Всеволожь [. . .]". И на томъ ц^ловаша хрестъ (6605/1097).

In uttering this (6), the speaker is establishing a norm according to which he is going to act in the future. Thus, the present tense describes what should happen after the Council of Princes in Liubech.5

5 In all fairness, it should be pointed out that the Laurentian Codex uses the form ga gep^HTh.

7. Prediction

(7) Бонакъ же при^ха, повода Давыдови, гако: "Покуда ны есть на угры". И завътра Бонакъ исполчивъ вои свои — Давыдово .р. а Бонакъ оу .т. ст^хъ — и разлили на .г полкы и поиде ко оугромъ (6605/1097).

Using the present tense, Bonyak is talking about a victory in a battle which has not yet even started as if it were a fait accompli.

Thus, in most cases the use of the present tense in an ISA allows the speaker to describe the event that has not yet occurred as one that is taking place; to convince the interlocutor that the given event is inevitable.

II. Statement Concerning the Future

1. Statement Concerning the Present (Present Tense)

(8) (a) Пришедшю ми в Ладогу, пов^даша ми ладожане, гако сд^ есть: "бгда кудеть туча велика, нахоть д^ти наши глазкы стеклАныи, и малы и вели-кыи, провертаны, а дрыга подл^ Волховъ керуть, еже выполоскываеть вода" (6622/1114), (b) И иде въ варАгы, и приде въ Римъ, испов^да, елико наоучи и елико вид^, и ре имъ: "Дивно вид^хъ землю словеньску, идущю ми с^мо. Ви-д^хъ кан^ древАны, и пережьгуть га велми, и съвлекутсА, и ку-дутъ нази, и wкольютСА мытелью, и возмуть в^никы, и на-чнуть хвостати , и того сок^ докью , wдва выл^зуть ле живы, и окольютсА водою студеною, и тако wживу. И тако творАть по вса дни не мучими никым же [. . .]".

Such ISAs can be found in fragments of the narrative type of the dialogue: the speaker talks about things that can happen, with the ISA contained in an initial predicative unit (hereafter—PU), which describes the condition of the emergence of such a typical situation (see 8a), or in the main part of the story, which describes the sequence of the events (see 8b). The other parts of the utterance contain DSAs with the forms of the present tense in the function of the usual present (8a: нахот ь д^ти наши глазкы стеклАныи; 8b: тако творАть по вса дни).

2. Statement Concerning the Present (the Present Gnomic)

(9) В се л^ придоша посл^ из немець къ Стославоу. Отослав же, величаше, показа имъ клтьство свое. №ни же, видивьше кесщисленое множество злЛ, и срекра, и паволо, р^ша: "Се ни во что же ксть, се ко лежить мртво. Сего суть см^тье лучьше. Мужи ко доищуть и колша сего" (6583/1075).

The ambassadors, responding to the approval of Prince Svyatoslav, point out that the warriors are more valuable, meaning not a single action in the future but their ability to commit the action.

3. Statement Concerning the Decision

(10) (a) И ре ему wдинъ кудесникъ: "КнАже! Конь, егоже люкиши и ^здиши нл немъ, ГО того ти оумрети". №легъ же приимъ вь оум^, си рече: "Ни кол и же всАду нл конь, ни вижю его коле того". И пов^л^ кормити и и не води-ти его к нему (6420/912), (b) Стополкъ же wклньныи, злыи оуки Стьсллвл, посллвь кь гор^ Оугорькои, к^жлщу ему вь оугры. И нлчл помышлАти, гако: "Изкью всю крлтью свою и прииму вллсть рускую единъ". Помысли высокооумьемь своимь, л не в^ды, гако . . . (6523/1015), (c) Изасдлв же иде в лахы со им^ниемь многимъ и сь женою, оуповлга клтьствомъ многымь, гда, гако: "Симь нлл^зу вога". Еже взашл оу него лАхове, поклзлшл ему путь ГО секе (6581/1073), (d) Азъ же идохъ к Влсилкови и пов^длхъ ему всю р^чь Двдву. №н же рче: "[. . .] Мко приде ми в^сть, гако идуть ко мн^ корень-дичи, и печении, и торци, и [. . .] помыслихъ: "Нл землю ЛАдьскую нл-ступлю нл зиму V нл л^то и возму землю ЛАдьскую и мьщю землю Русьскую" (6605/1097).

The speaker utters his decision to perform an action in the future or to follow a certain pattern of behavior. More often than not, these utterances are addressed to the speaker himself: the narrator introduces the thoughts of the character to the reader, verbalizing his "inner speech." This theory is backed up by the fact that it is mentioned in the framework construction that the character (10a) приимъ вь оум^, си рече, (10b) нлчл помышлАти и помысли высокооумьемь своимь, (10с) иде оуповлга клтьствомъ многымь, (10d) приде ми в^сть и помыслихъ. Example (10d) is the most illustrative because in this example, it is not the narrator but the character himself— Prince Vasilko—who tells his interlocutor about his thoughts, seeing them as the reason for the misfortunes he had to endure: А иное помышленье въ срци моемъ не кыло ни нл Стополкл, ни нл Двдл. [. . .] Но зл мое оузнесенье — иже поидошл кереньдичи ко мн^, и веселАсА срце мое, и възвеселисА оумъ мои, — и низложи ма Бъ^ и см^ри ма.

4. Call for Action

(11) Ре же имъ №лгл: "[. . .] Азь оутро пошлю по вы, вы же ре те: «Не ^демь ни нл конехъ, ни п^ши идемъ, но понесете ны в лодьи», и възьнесутъ вы в лодьи". И ГОпусти га в лодью (6453/945).

The form of the future tense describes the action Princess Olga encourages her interlocutor to perform. As in (4a), (4b), (5a), and (5b), the speaker uses the ISA as a rhetorical device, allowing them to "impose" their point of view on the recipient.

5. Call for Joint Action

(12) (a) И не к^ в нихъ правды, и въста родъ на ро, и кыша оусокиц^ в ни, и воевати сами на са почаша. И ркоша: "Поищемъ сами в сок^ кназа, иже кы волод^лъ нами и рАдилъ по рАду, по праву". Идоша за море к варАго, к руси (6370/862), (b) И въспАша пре паволочиты^, а слов^не кропиинныга, и раздра га в^тръ. И ркша словен^: "ИмемъсА свои толъстинамъ: не даны суть слов^но пре кропинныга" (6415/907), (c) И ре Стославъ: "[. . .] И не имамъ оук^гнути, но станемъ крепко, азъ же предъ вами поиду. Аще мога глава лажсть, тоже промыслите w сек^". И ркоша вои: "Идеже глав твога лажсть, ту и главы наша сложи" (6479/971), (d) Стославъ же прига дары и поч думати съ дружиною своею, рекА сице: "[. . .] Но створи миръ съ црмъ, се ко ны са по дань галъ, и то куди доволно намъ. [. . .]". И люка кы р^чь сУ дружин^, и послаша л^пьшии мужи къ црви (6479/971), (e) И ре Свенгелдъ и Асмудъ: "Кназь оуже почалъ. ПотАгнемъ, дружино, по кнази!" И пок^диша деревьлАны (6454/946), (f) И глше Володимеръ, гако: "Сд^ стогаще чересъ р^ку, оу гроз^ сеи, створимъ миръ с ними". И присташа св^ту сему смыслен^и мужи — Мнь и прочш. Киган^ же не восхот^ша св^та сего, но рекоша: "Хощемъ са кити. Поступимъ на wну сторону р^к^" (6601/1093).

ISAs with the forms of the future tense are used to encourage the interlocutor to perform a joint action, the speaker and interlocutor constituting a single social group.6 In some cases, this group is undifferentiated (12a, 12b): the utterance of such statements demonstrates the making of a common decision concerning further actions, which labels such statements as self-addressed ones (the whole group is specified as the speaker), and which brings these statements closer to those described in (10). In some other cases, the "head" of the group appeals to all the rest. If the recipient accepts the call, the chronicler either gives his response utterance (12c: Идеже глав твога лажсть, ту и главы наша сложи — a response utterance of the warriors, motivated by the second part of Prince Svyatopolk's speech, expresses their consent to follow him to the end); or gives the response of the recipient in the frame construction (12d: и люка кы р^чь сУ дружин^); or says nothing, giving the reader an opportunity to withdraw the implicit information from the correlation of the appeal and

6 We believe that there is no reason to speak about the use of certain specific 1st person plural forms of the imperative, "homonymous" to the 1st person plural forms of the future tense, in the given paragraphs: otherwise researchers would have to define specific "homonymous" forms for each case of the use of verbal forms in a figurative (i.e., non-direct) sense. The morphemic structure of these forms in the chronicles shows that they are not the etymological forms of the imperative, and the use of the present or future tense forms to express inducement, as pointed out by A. I. Sobolevsky [Соболевский 2005: 253], seems quite natural, since we mean an action that the speaker intends to perform immediately after the speech act or in the near future, and wants to involve his interlocutor in it. The fact that these forms are not grammatically formed as imperative indicators, such as the modern пойдем vs. пойдемте, is essential.

the descriptions of the subsequent actions (12e: и пок^дишл деревьллны).7 If the recipient does not agree with the call—which is a rare case—the narrator states this in the frame construction and gives an utterance explaining the disagreement of the interlocutor (12f: Киган^ же не восхот^шл св^тл сего, но рекошл: "Хощемъ са кити. Поступимъ нл why сторону р^к^").

All ISA forms of this type contain the forms of the 1st person plural, with most statements containing clichés uttered in typical communicative situations ("the discussion of 'the search for' the Prince": Поищемъ!, Поимемъ!; "the speech of the headman, calling to make peace with the enemy"; Створимъ миръ!). It is characteristic that six of fourteen ISAs with IF "call for joint action" contain a cliché Потлгнемъ! (Поидемь!), and the information about the consent of the recipient is given as implicit information (see 12e)—this way of describing events characterizes the speech genre of "a warlord addresses his warriors before a battle."

6. Institutional Statement

(13) Стополкъ и Володимеръ посллстл к Олгови, глщл сице: "Поиди Кыкву. лть рлдъ оучинимъ w Рускои земьл^ [. . .]". №легъ же [. . .] не восхот^ ити къ крлтомл своимл, послушлвъ злыхъ св^тникъ. Стополкъ же и Володимеръ реко-стл к нему: "Дл се ты ни нл поглныга идеши с нлмл, ни нл думу, то ть и ты зло мыслиши нл нлю и помоглти хощеши поглнымъ. А Бъ промежи нлмл ку-деть". Стополкъ же и Володимеръ идостл нл №лгл къ Чернигову (6604/1096).

Just as in (6), the speaker sets the standard (Бог нас рассудит), which will henceforth determine the relationship between the dissenting brothers-princes.

7. Promise (Oath)

(14) И ре Стосллвъ: "[. . .] И не имлмъ оук^гнути, но стлнемъ крепко, лзъ же предъ влми поиду. Аще мога гллвл ллжеть, тоже промыслите w сек^". И ркошл вои: "Идеже гллв твога ллжеть, ту и гллвы нлшл сложи" (6479/971).

Uttering a response statement, the warriors do not report about possible future events, but swear allegiance to Prince Svyatoslav.

III. Report of an Event that did not Happen due to the Nonimplementation of a Certain Condition

1. Evaluative Judgment, Condemnation of the Events of the Past

(15) №ни же р^шл: "Рлзъгн^вллъсл Бънл $ци нл и рлсточи ны по стрлнл гр^хъ рл нлшихъ, и предлнл кьс1 землл нлшл хртьганомъ". Володимиръ же ре: "То клко вы ин^хъ оучите, л слми ГОв^ржени Бл? Аще кы Бъ люкилъ

7 The latter method of description is the most frequently used one.

васъ, то не кысте расточени по чюжимъ землАмъ. Еда и намъ то же мыслите зло прУгати?" (6494/986).

The utterance states, Вы рассеяны по чужим землям, потому что Бог не любит вас. It should be noted that the understanding of the ISA in this case is impossible without reference to the content of the two parts of the utterance: the speaker describes a situation exactly the opposite to the one which is true (Вы не были бы рассеяны по чужим землям vs. В действительности вы рассеяны по чужим землям), which gives a pejorative connotation to the views expressed in the second part of the structure (Бог любил бы вас vs. В действительности Бог не любит вас).

All the statements given above are non-interrogative. As we can see, in most cases their use as an ISA is associated with the use of special verbal forms. Present forms are used in constructions describing events that took place prior to the moment of speech or the events that, according to the speaker, should occur in the future, and the degree of probability of their implementation is estimated differently. Future tense forms express the meaning of the usual present and the gnomic present, and are also used in the constructions describing future events, the implementation of which seems problematic to the speaker, which makes him add to them a modal evaluation. It is characteristic that the use of past tenses in mono-functional ISAs is extremely rare.8 Example (15) may be considered as an exception—a statement that describes the condition in which the past situation would not have emerged. Thus, the use of mono-functional non-interrogative ISAs is primarily related to the changes of the semantics of the verb forms—in terms of tenses or modality.

IV. Call for Information (Verifying Question)

1. Call for ACTION

(16) (a) И заоутра, въставъ, рече к сущимъ с нимъ оученикомъ: "Видите горы сига? Мко на сихъ горахъ въсигаеть клгть Бжига. Имать и городъ ве-ликъ кыти, и цркви мьногы имЛ Бъ въздвигнути", (b) И послаша киган^ къ Стославу, глюще: "Ты, кнажс, чюжеи земли ищешь и клюдешь, а своега са ли-шивъ. Мал^ ко нЛ не възАша печении, и мтрь твю и д^тии твоихъ. Аще не придеши, ни шкорониши нЛ, да пакы възмуть. Аще ти не жаль №тьчины своега, и мтрь, стары суща, и д^ти свои?" То слышавъ, Стославъ вкорз^ въс^дъ на кони съ дружиною своею и приде къ Киеву, и ц^лова мтрь свою и д^ти свога, съжалиси w кывше ГО печен^гъ (6476/968).

Uttering an interrogative sentence, St. Apostle Andrew encourages his disciples to look in the necessary direction. The citizens of Kiev do not want to

8 At the same time, they can be found in the poly-functional ISA; see [Соболевский 2005: 253].

know if Prince Svyatoslav has pity either for his own homeland or for his loved ones, but urge him to have pity for them, and manage to put their message across: то слышлвъ, Стосллвъ [. . .] съжллиси w кывше ГО печен^гъ.

The example (16b) is characterized by a feature already mentioned in (15) and characteristic of the majority of interrogative ISAs (both verificative and informative): the utterance with a negation should be seen as an affirmative one and vice versa (Тебе не жаль? > Пожалей!).9

2. Evaluative Judgment

(17) (a) И придошл вь грлдъ, и реклшл людие: "Почто гуките секе? Коли можете перестогати нл? Аще стоите .7. л^, что можете створити нлмъ? Им^мь ко кормьлю ГО землА. Аще ли не веруете, дл видите своимл wчимл" (6505/997), (b) И створишл в^че вь грл и р^шл: "Се хочемь помрети ГО гллдл, л ГО кназа помочи н^тъ. Дл луче ли ны оумрети? ВдлдимсА печен^гомъ, дл кого ли шживА, кого ли оумртвАть. Оуже помирлемь ГО гллдл". И тлко св^тъ створишл (6505/997).

The speaker expresses his judgment on the impossibility of performing an action in the future (see 17a) or that it would have negative consequences (17b).

3. Reminder

(18) Всеволодъ же испов^дл ему все кывшек. I ре ему Изасдлвъ: "Брлте, не тужи! Видиши ко, колко са мн^ сключи злл? Первое ко, не выгнлшл ли мене и именье мое рлзгрлкишл? И плки, кую вину створилъ есмь? Не изгнлстл ли вы мене, крлтл свога? И не клуди ли по чюжимъ землАмъ, им^ньга ли-шенъ кыхъ, не створи злл ничтоже? I нын^, крл, не тужив^. [. . .]". И се рекъ, ут^ши Всеволодл и пове зкирлти вога ГО мллл до великл (6586/1078).

iНе можете найти то, что вам нужно? Попробуйте сервис подбора литературы.

It should be pointed out that the IF "reproach" detected in connection with the whole utterance (18) is derived from the correlation of this syntagm with other syntagms, complementing it: if these "additional" syntagms were not pronounced, the statement would not be understood as a reproach (cf: И не клуди ли по чюжимъ землАмъ + им^ньга лишенъ кыхъ + не створи злл ничтоже? > Я скитался по чужим землям, хотя и пострадал безвинно: меня лишили имущества, хотя никакого зла я не сотворил vs. *И не клуди ли по чюжимъ землАмъ > Я скитался по чужим землям). Thus, this additional IF is characteristic of a complex of speech moves10 rather than of each taken individually, and therefore the ISA (18) should not be considered a poly-functional statement.

9 This feature of the interrogative ISA will be given more attention after the description of the ISA of the given type.

10 Read more about the elementary and complex speech moves and turns in [Соболевский 2005: 253].

In contrast to (18), the utterance in the same question Не выгнаша ли мене и именье мое разгракиша? is poly-functional: the speaker simultaneously reminds his brother of the past and reproaches him, and each PU, constituting a statement, is seen as a reminder and as a reproach, even if the second PU is "removed."

The utterance Не изгнаста ли вы мене, крата свога? is more difficult. On the one hand, the IF "rebuke" is set by correlating the contents of two syn-tagms, constituting a complex speech move (Не изгнаста ли вы мене + крата свога? > Вы поступили плохо, изгнав своего брата). On the other hand, even if the second part of the structure is omitted, the first will be illocutiona-rily poly-functional due to its personal mode of address: the subject of a proposition, describing a negatively evaluated event, coincides with the recipient, and therefore this part of the statement is perceived as a reminder and as a reproach (*Не изгнаста ли вы мене? > Это вы меня изгнали). The second part of the structure, because it is not propositive, has no illocutionary poly-functionality, but is communicatively significant: it does not allow the recipient to doubt that the speaker is turning his attention to his being involved in a negatively evaluated action.

4. Call for Information (Informative Question)

(19) (a) И въстужиша люе в город^ и ркоша: "Н^ ли ко, иже кы на wну страну моглъ доити ?11 «аще не приступите оутро подъ городъ, преда-тиса имамъ печеного»". И ре wдинъ wтрокъ: "Азъ могу преити" (6476/968), (b) №нъ же и^ыде и^ъ града съ оуздою и хожаше скв^з^ печен^гы, гла: "Не вид^ ли кона никтоже ?" — к^ ко оум^га печен^скы, и и мнаху и своихъ (6476/968).

ISAs (19a) and (19b), as formally negative utterances which require the validation of the stated information, are actually pronounced in order to see who can be the agent of the proposition described in the utterance (the pronouns кто and никто are used in the same function): Нет ли кого, кто мог бы... ? should be seen as Кто может ... ? and Никто не видел коня? means Кто видел коня?

V. Information Required (Informative Question) 1. Evaluative Judgment

The ISAs of the given type can be observed in the Tale of Bygone Years most frequently. They often include pronominals in the cataphoric function, which replace the syntactic positions in the predicative units [PU]. These syntactic positions can correlate both with nouns and with proposition predicates.

11 Laurentian Codex: add. и ре имъ.

A. Utterances with КТО

(20) Мьстисллв же, w св^тъ злоутрл и вид^ лежлчи ис^чены ГО сво"хъ с^в^ръ и влрАгы Мросллвл^, и ре: "Кто сему не рл? Се лежить с^верАнинъ, л се влрАгъ, л свога дружинл ц^лл" (6532/1024).

The pronoun кто refers to the grammatical patient in the position of the subject.

B. Utterances with ЧТО

(21) (a) Pimd ему: "Дли снл свое, длмы и кмъ". №нъ же ре: "Аще суть к^и, то единого секе послють кл, дл поимуть снл моего. А вы чему перетерекуете имъ ?" И кликнушл и пос^кошл с^ни подъ ними, и тлко покишл га (6491/983), (b) И се слышлвъ, Гл^къ вьспи велми сь слезлми и пллчлсА по wi^, плче же и по крлт^, и нлчл молитисА со слезлми, гда: "[. . .] Аще ко кыхъ, крлте, видилъ лице твое лнглкое, оумерлъ кыхъ с токою. Нын^ же что рлди wстлхъ лзъ единъ? [. . .]" (6523/1015), (c) И р^шл ему12 муж^ смыслен^и: "По что вы рлспрю имлтл межи сокою, л поглнии гукАть землю Рус-кую ? Посл^д^ са смиритл, л нн^ поидитл противу имъ, люко с миромь, люко рлтью" (6601/1093), (d) Мрополкъ же идАше по немь, пллчлсА съ дружиною своею: "№че, wmc мои! Что еси кес печлли пожи нл св^т^ семь, многи нлплсти приемь ГО люд^и и ГО крлтьга своега? [. . .]" (6586/1078).

The use of the pronoun что (21a: чему; 21b: что рлди; 21c: по что) with or without prepositions is mainly connected with the expression of the meanings of cause and motive, but, at the same time, they cannot be differentiated. The use of the pronoun что in (21d), where it expresses a quantitative meaning, should be mentioned as an individual case.

C. Utterances with КАКО

(22) (a) И не послушл сего, помышлАга: "Клко ма хотать гати, wногды ц^ловлл! хресть, рекуще: «Аще кто нл кого кудеть, хрестъ нл того и мы вси ?»" И помысливъ си, перехрестисА, рекл: "Вода Гна дл кудеть" (6605/1097), (b) И рече Стополкъ: "Брлте, ты почни". И рече Володимеръ: "Клко га хочю молвити, л нл ма хотать молвити твога дружинл и мога, рекуще: «Хощеть погукити смерды и ролью смердомъ!»? [. . .]" (6619/1111), (c) И въпросишл колодникъ, глще: "Клко влсъ толкл силл и многое множество, не могосте са противити, но воскор^ пок^гост^?" Си же ГОв^щевлху, глюще: "Клко можемъ к1тиса с влми ? А друзии ^здАху верху влсъ въ wружьи св^тл^ и стрлшни, иже помлглху влмъ!" (6619/1111).

In all ISAs, which include the pronominal adverb клко, there can be observed predicates which consist of a modal verb and the infinitive of a notional verb. At the same time, the PU which includes клко describes the event which is

12 Laurentian Codex: имл.

being evaluated and the implementation of which is 'limited' by the condition, stated in the following PU.

The utterances which include the verb хот^ти in the present tense form refer to the intention of the subject of the proposition to take action, expressed by the infinitive, either at some time after the moment of speech (see 22a) or shortly after the given utterance was made (see 22b). In the second case, the speaker evaluates the possibility of taking the verbal action, which he, supposedly, does not dare to take (Как же мне говорить, если.. .): this so-called masking strategy of both speech and behavior allows him to express his point of view and, at the same time, to forestall the possible objections of the interlocutor.

In (22c) the modal verb мощи is used. It is remarkable that although the given event took place in the past, the speaker uses the form of the present tense as in (22a) and (22b) in the meaning of the gnomic present.

D. Utterances with КИИ

(23) (a) Ре же имл Мнь: "[. . .] Которому Був^руетл?" №нл же рекостл: "Антихръсту". №н же ре имл: "То гд^ есть?" №нл же рекостл: "Садить вь кездн^". И ре имл Мнь: "То кии есть Бъ, с^да вь кездн^ ? То есть к^съ [. . .]" (6579/1071), (b) Всеволодъ же испов^дл ему все кывшек. I ре ему ИзАсллвъ: "Брлте, не тужи! Видиши ко, колко са мн^ сключи злл? Первое ко, не выгнлшл ли мене и именье мое рлзгрлкишл? И плки, кую вину створилъ есмь ? [. . .]" (6586/1078).

The pronoun кии takes the position of an attribute of the noun, the truthfulness of its denotative meaning is somehow discredited by the speaker (the Magi's god is not god, thus, the fault of Izyaslav is not a fault).

E. Utterances with КДЕ

(24) И се слышлвъ, Гл^къ вьспи велми сь слезлми и пллчлсА по ютци, плче же и по крлт^, и нлчл молитисА со слезлми, гда: "[. . .] Аще ко кыхъ, крлте, видилъ лице твое лнглкое, оумерлъ кыхъ с токою. Нын^ же что рлди wстлхъ лзъ единъ? Кде суть словесл твога, гаже гллше ко мн^, крлте мои люкимыи ? [. . .]" (6523/1015).

The ISA with the pronominal adverb кде [where] is observed in the same passage as (21b). The use of two ISAs, one after another, allows the speaker to express the sorrow he feels after he lost his beloved brother.

F. Utterances with ЧТО СД^ЛАТИ

(25) И рче влрАгъ: "Не су то к^и, но древо. [. . .] А Бъ единъ есть, емуже слу-жлть гр^ци и кдлнаютса, иже створТлъ нко, и землю, и члвкл, и зъв^зды, и слнце, и луну и дллъ есть жити нл земли. А си к^и что сд^ллшл ? Слми дЬлни суть. [. . .]" (6491/983).

The pronominal use of a verb can also be observed in the TBY: the predicative combination (predicative complex) что сд^лаша replaces those predicative combinations that could have been used in the response utterance if the speaker's question had not been an ISA, implying that pagan 'gods' did nothing [ничего не сделали].

2. Reminding of the Past, Stating Intentions, and Describing the Current Situation and Affairs

(26) (a, b, c) Давыдъ же, имъ в^ры лживымъ словесемь, нача молвити на Ва-силка, гла сице: "(a) Кто есть оукилъ крата твоего Мрополка, (b) а нын^ мыслить на та и на ма (c) и сложилъсА есть с Володиме-ромъ? Да промышлАи си w своеи голов^!" (6605/1097).

Example (26) presents a number of ISAs united by a common agent and expressed by the pronoun кто. Example (26a) reminds the interlocutor of an action, which the person they talk about committed earlier; (26b) states his intention; and (26c) speaks about the current situation, which is the result of his previous actions. Correlation of the propositive meanings of these three PUs should make the interlocutor consider the speaker's words as a warning (26a, 26b, and 26c cannot be regarded as a warning individually), moreover, the given IF is also typical of the PU Да промышлАи си w своеи голов^—the utterance, used here as a DSA.

3. Unfavorable Forecast

(27) (a) Стославъ же прига дары и поч думати съ дружиною своею, рекА сице: "[. . .] А Рукага землА далече есть, а печении с нами ратни, а кто ны поможе? [. . .]" (6479/971), (b) И р^ша оуншии Оурусок^: "Аще са ты коиши руси, но мы са не коимъ. Сихъ ко изкивше, и поидемь в землю ихъ, и приимемъ вса грады ихъ. И кто изкавить ихъ ГО насъ?" (6611/1103), (c) И стога №льга л^то ц^ло, и не можаше взати города, и оумысли сице: посла къ городу, ркущи: "Чего хощете дос^д^ти ? [. . .] А вы хощете голодомъ измерети, не имучисА по дань" (6454/946), (d) И придоша вь градъ, и рекаша людие: "Почто гуките секе? Коли можете перестогати нЛ? Аще стоите .Т. л^ , что можете створити намъ ? [. . .]" (6505/997).

In examples (27a) and (27b), the pronoun кто refers to the agent. In example (27c), the pronoun что at the verb дос^д^ти replaces the object, which should be taken as a proposition (at the end of the utterance, made by Princess Olga, this proposition is verbalized: вы хощете голодомъ измерети). In (27d), a pronominal verb is used (comp. to 25).

It should be stressed that (27a) is a forecast unfavorable for the speaker; (27b) for the participant of the proposition who is not a communicant; and (27c) and (27d) for the interlocutor.

4. Apprehension

(28) (a) Володимиръ же ре: "То како вы ин^хъ оучите, а сами ГОв^ржени Бл? Аще кы Бъ люкилъ васъ, то не кысте расточени по чюжимъ землАмъ. Еда и намъ то же мыслите зло прТгати?" (6494/986), (b) Вид^въ же мало дружины своега, ре в секе: "бга, како прел^стивше, изъкьють дружбу мою и мене?", к^ша ко мьнози погыкли на полку. И ре: "Поиду в Ру и приведу коле дружины" (6479/971).

The speaker expresses apprehension that the event unfavorable for him can take place. At the same time, he addresses his utterance either to the interlocutor (see 28a), or to himself (see 28b): in the second case, as in (10), the narrator verbalizes the 'inner speech' of the character, showing its specific nature in the frame construction (ре в секе).13

5. Hope

(29) №на же не хоташс ити, гако в поганыга, и ре им: "Луче кы ми сде оумрети". И реста еи крата: "Егда како юкратить Бъ Рускую землю в покагание, а Гр^чкую землю изкавиши ГО лютыга рати ? [. . .]" (6496/988).

In contrast to (28b), the speaker expresses his hope that the mentioned event will take place; in both cases the conjunction егда is used, but at the same time its meaning is so different from the meaning of a time conjunction "when" когда that there is a question as to whether these interrogative utterances are verificative. However, attention should be paid to the fact that both in (28) and in (29), the participants of communication speak about future events, and the possibility of their implementation is the subject the speaker is really worried about. It is the combination of two time zones—the moment of speech and the event following it—that accounts for the use of a time conjunction.

VI. Call for Information (Combination of Verifying and Informative Questions)

A number of TBY passages include constructions where two ISAs are used together: the verifiable question, the IF of which is 'calling to an action,' and the informative question, the IF of which is the 'evaluative judgment':

(30) (a) И ре Блудъ Мрополку: "Видиши ли, колко вои оу крата твё? Намъ ихъ не керекорти. И твори миръ съ крЛмъ своимъ", льста подь ни, се

13 It should be pointed out that the conjunctions егда and еда are used synonymously in the given fragments (this feature was noted by I. I. Sreznevsky, who used the contexts in the given type of ISAs as examples; see [Срезневский 1893: 807, 808]). Particularly, they can be used in the same sentences in various chronicles; thus, in the fragment Ркоша же дружина Игорева: "Да аще сице глть црь, то что хощемъ коле того: не кивши, имати злато, и серекро, и паволокы? бда кто в^сть, кто юдол^еть: мы ли, юни ли? Или с моремъ кто св^тенъ? Се ко и не по земли ходимъ, но по глукин^ морьстии, и юкьча смрть вс^мъ" (6452/944), the conjunction еда is used in the Hypatian Codex and егда is used in the Laurentian Codex.

ре. И ре Мрополкъ: "Тлко куди" (6488/980), (b) №нл же не хотАше ити, гако в поглныга, и ре им: "Луче кы ми сде оумрети". И рестл еи крлтл: "[. . .] В идиш и ли, колико зло створишл русь гр^комъ? Нын^ же, лще не идеши, то же имуть творит нлмъ". И wдвл принудистл (6496/988), (c) I ре ему Изасдлвъ: "Брлте, не тужи! Видиши ко, колко са мн4 сключи злл? [. . .]". И се рекъ, ут^ши Всеволодл (6586/1078).

In all of these utterances the first position is taken by the ISA in the form of the 2nd person present tense видиши, which forms the mental modus structure:14 the interlocutor, supposedly, evaluates the current situation himself, although in fact the speaker adduces his own point of view, which is expressed by the following ISA with the pronoun колко, meaning a great number/amount of the evaluated thing: (30a: Сколько воинов? = Много воинов; 30b и 30c: Сколько зла? = Много зла).15

It should be pointed out that such 'compound' ISAs are observed in dialogues in which the speaker, by means of changing different strategies of speech and behavior,16 tries to convince the interlocutor of something, and each time he succeeds. Thus, the chronicler regards 'compound' ISAs as utterances that allow him to achieve the perlocutive effect he wants in a discussion the result of which is not obvious.

*

Concluding the analysis of interrogative ISAs, let us once again discuss the feature that has been discovered when describing example (16b). As we can observe, in most cases the use of interrogative utterances as ISAs is connected with the following semantic changes in the propositions:

• if an utterance, which is understood literally, expresses a negative judgment (formally, it is expressed by the negative particle не), it should be interpreted as a positive one (16b: Тебе не жаль? > Пожалей!; 18: Не скитался ли я по чужим землям? = Я скитался по чужим землям!; 19a: Нет ли кого, кто мог бы... ? = Кто может... ?; 19b: Никто не видел... ? = Кто видел. .. ?; 20: Кто этому не рад? = Все этому рады!),

• if an utterance, which is understood literally, expresses a positive judgment, it should be interpreted as a negative one (17a: Можете ли вы перестоять нас? = Вы не можете перестоять нас!; 17b: Лучше ли нам будет, если мы умрем? = Если мы умрем, нам лучше не будет!; 21a: Зачем вы совершаете им

14 Compare with (16a), where the verb is used in its literal sense.

15 This reveals a pattern: in cases when, determining the number of the positively evaluated object, the speaker refers to the lack of it (see 21d: Сколько ты без горестей пожил на этом свете? = Мало ты пожил на этом свете без горестей!), and in cases when, determining the number of the negatively evaluated object, the speaker refers to its redundancy (see 30a, 30b, and 30c).

16 Concerning speech behavioral tactics, see [Верещагин, Костомаров 2005: 524, 525].

требы? = Вам незачем совершать им требы!; 21b: Зачем я остался один? = Мне незачем оставаться одному!; 21c: Зачем вы ссоритесь? = Вам не следует ссориться!; 22a: Как же меня собираются схватить, если... ? = Меня не могут собираться схватить, поскольку...!; 22b: Как же я буду говорить, если... ? = Я не могу говорить, поскольку...!; 22c: Как мы можем биться с вами, если... ? = Мы не можем биться с вами, поскольку... !; 23a: Какой это Бог... ? = Это не Бог...!; 23b: Какой я проступок совершил? = Я никакого проступка не совершал!; 24: Где твои речи... ? = Твоих речей больше нет...!; 25: Что эти "боги" сделали? = Эти "боги" ничего не сделали!; 27a: Кто нам поможет? = Никто нам не поможет!; 27b: Кто избавит их от нас? = Никто не избавит их от нас!; 27c: Чего вы хотите дождаться? = Ничего хорошего вы не дождетесь!; 27d: Что можете нам сделать? = Ничего нам не можете сделать!).

Thus, as it has turned out, the feature that is so typical of modern Russian discourse has a long history and is quite traditional.

3. Conclusions

The analysis allows for the following conclusions:

1. The use of ISAs is typical not only of modern but also of Old Russian communication. ISAs in Old Russian can be used both as mono-functional and poly-functional utterances.

2. Mono-functional ISAs can be observed in 33 of 320 original (i.e., not observed in other texts) dialogue passages of the TBY. At the same time, more often than not, more than one ISA is used in a certain dialogue passage: the total number of mono-functional ISAs is 82 utterances.

3. The semantics of non-interrogative mono-functional ISAs (44 utterances) in most cases is connected with the expression of indirect time and aspect of verbal forms (present forms referring to events in the past, future forms to unreal events, and so forth).

4. 38 mono-functional ISAs are interrogative utterances. In the majority of cases their semantics is narrowed to the statement of a certain evaluative judgment; at the same time, in the structure of the proposition the semantic operator of negation is replaced by the semantic operator of assertion and vice versa.

5. The types of mono-functional ISAs, singled out in the course of the analysis, can be observed in modern Russian discourse as well, which allows us to assume that they are quite traditional.
