Using the tools of axiological linguistics, the author<br />attempts to answer questions such as: what convictions about the essence of listening are<br />encoded in phraseological units about speech situations, what expectations of the speaker<br />towards their interlocutor(s) are manifested in the examined phrasemes, which criterion<br />is adopted in attributing values to the attitude of listening/not listening, and, finally,<br />what role the phrasemes that encode axiological valuation of both attitudes may perform<br />in interpersonal communication. Special attention is paid to the perlocutionary effects<br />of the axiological potential carried by the examined phraseological units. The conclusion<br />that is drawn is that the phrasemes reflect social valuation and some of them may be used<br />in restrictive communication. Furthermore, it appears that the experience of listening<br />encoded in German phraseological units has three semantic variants: an affective reaction<br />of the listener to the content of the speaker’s utterance; an attitude of not paying sufficient<br />attention to the speaker’s message, which can thus destabilize speaker-hearer relations;<br />and, finally, a communicative attitude of obedience.</p> ER -
