Abstract

The article discusses expressive forms of address in Russian and Spanish (as exemplified by its Colombian and Costa Rican varieties) in view of the factors influencing their formation: national-cultural specificity and both inter- and extralinguistic factors associated with it, psychological factors (ways of creating and modelling reality in a number of communicative situations by persons belonging to various Hispanic cultural communities) as well as language nomination itself. Depending on the expression and the prevalence of evaluativity and affectability in expressive forms of address, they are divided into groups; methods for analysing them are also listed. Expressive forms of address based on the degree of acquaintance or kinship of communicants undergo a detailed comparative analysis. Based on the obtained results, conclusions are drawn about the differences in the specifics of their situational and stylistic implementation as well as in the way of rendering various tonalities that are influenced by the ethnopsychological factor. The materials of the article may be of interest both for specialists in Russian and Spanish linguistics and for students of linguistic specialties.

Keywords: expressive forms of address, national-cultural specificity, expression of evaluativity and affectability in forms of address, situational and stylistic implementations, ethnopsychological factor
