Abstract

The paper focuses on the characteristics and definitions of the etiquette speech genres of greetings and farewells found in English linguoculture. The primary emphasis is placed on their linguoconceptological issues, which can be traced back to immediate forms of actualization of these speech genres in discourse. The work is important because it reveals national-specific characteristics inherent in English linguoculture through an analysis of the forms of actualization of the given speech genres in discourse. The study attempts to link the different forms of actualization of speech genres to key concepts in English linguoculture. In recent decades, philologists, culturologists, and specialists in intercultural communication and cognitive linguistics have conducted extensive research on key concepts and conceptosheres of English linguoculture. The findings in this scientific field not only allow for the identification of similarities and differences in national worldviews but also provide information about people's ethnic identities. The latter manifests as an awareness of the nation as a whole unit with distinct traditions, language, and culture. Since the English concept of "privacy" is observed, the study takes a comparative approach. They are regarded as crucial in the given English linguoculture. They are also reflected in the forms of actualization of speech genres of greetings and farewells, as illustrated by examples taken from fiction.
