M. POUTROVA

Abstract

The article presents the results of comparative study of promises which seem to have belonged to the group of the most profoundly studied performative speech acts. The data obtained makes it possible to expand our knowledge of the basic characteristics of promises and account for their culturally and Gender specific frequency and distribution. It also describes some typical manifestations of promises in Belarusian, Russian, English and American cultures depending on the Gender identity of the speaking subject.
