Non-Cooperative Speech Behaviour, or "Anti-Politeness Etiquette"

The article examines anti-politeness strategies that are based on the rejection of the principle of cooperation and the politeness strategies associated with it. Non-cooperative behaviour, in the same way as the cooperative one, has its own variety of speech formulas (How should I know?; I don't follow them!; They don't report to me!; How much longer?!; Nobody's asking you! etc.), which are used in certain situations. Anti-politeness strategies employ the same mechanisms (indirect speech acts, implicative schemes) as politeness strategies do. The main strategies of anti-politeness are interrogative (– Where did they go? – How should I know?) and negative (– Where did they go? – They don't report to me / I don't follow them). Both strategies are based on the implication: "no source of information / I don't follow –> I don't know." The main types of non-cooperative formulas are: a reaction to unreliable, erroneous, unconvincing information/statements/conclusions; a reaction to the interlocutor's incorrect hypothesis about the speaker's awareness; a reaction to intellectual immaturity; a reaction to abuse of power (a reaction to an inappropriate question; a reaction to an unreasonable request; a reaction to inappropriate advice); a reaction to incorrect supposition. The analysis of non-cooperative formulas enables reconstructing an important extract of the Russian language picture of the world, i.e. the rules of communication and requirements for the interlocutor.
