Examples of different types of appeals. Form of address to a person in Russian etiquette

Appeals and punctuation marks with them

Not only knowledge introductory words may be required in task B5. Sometimes graduates are offered write out numbers denoting commas when referring.

Appeal- this is a word or phrase that names the addressee of the speech (person or object):

This labor, Vania, was terribly huge (N.A. Nekrasov). The address in this sentence is the word Vania.

The main function of the appeal is to encourage the interlocutor to listen, to draw attention to the message, therefore, names, patronymics and surnames are often used as an appeal: Really, Maria Ivanovna, do you want to leave us too? (A.S. Pushkin) Appeals also serve: the names of persons by degree of kinship; names or nicknames of animals; names of objects or phenomena inanimate nature, usually in this case personified; geographic names. All of us in communication Will help appeal! You can safely turn to people, animals or birds! Only, friend, do not forget, Arrange commas!

The role of address in a sentence is usually played by a noun in the nominative case or another part of speech in the meaning of a noun (adjective, participle, etc.): You are very busy, Paul?(N. Ostrovsky); Let me go, native, to a wide expanse (N.A. Nekrasov).

The appeal can be extended with explanatory words: your labors, a friend of mine, I will not forget (I.A. Krylov).

When speech is addressed not to one, but to several persons, the names of these persons are usually connected by a coordinating union AND. Between them, either a comma or exclamation mark, for example:

Vanya and Petya I will write to you. Mother! Dad! Come here quickly!

The appeal can be repeated: Oh, babysitter, babysitter, I miss (A.S. Pushkin).

The appeal is not connected with other words in the sentence by either a subordinating or a coordinating connection, because is not a member of it and is not included in the grammatical basis(i.e can never be subject).

Compare examples, in one of which the word grandmother is the subject, and in the other - the appeal:

1) Grandmother speaks to me in a whisper (M. Gorky) - subject.

2) I love you, grandmother(M. Gorky) - appeal.

The appeal can be located at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the sentence:

My friend, let us dedicate our souls to the homeland with wonderful impulses!

Hold on comrade, gunpowder dry.

How clueless you are nanny!

The personal pronouns YOU and YOU usually do not act as an address: they perform the function of the subject: Do you love autumn?

The appeal is pronounced with a special (vocative) intonation: increased stress, pause: highlighted with commas.

If the appeal at the beginning of the sentence is pronounced with an exclamatory intonation, then an exclamation mark is placed after it, the word following the appeal is capitalized: Old man! forget about the past ... (M.Yu. Lermontov).

If a common appeal is placed in parts between the members of the sentence, then each part is separated by commas: Jacob, pick it up brother, curtain (A.P. Chekhov). breakaway, smart, you are wandering head?(I.A. Krylov)

Interjectional expressions are not appeals and are not separated by commas: Lord have mercy, God forbid, Lord forgive, thank you, Lord, etc.

The appeal may be accompanied by an expression of affection, reproach, condemnation, etc. This attitude of the speaker to the interlocutor is expressed using intonation, evaluation suffixes, definitions and applications, for example: Stepanushka, dear, don't give out Cute!(I.A. Krylov) Neighbor, my light, please eat! (I.A. Krylov)

Sometimes invocations are expanded into lengthy characteristics; in these cases, when referring, there may be several definitions:

Friend of my harsh days, my decrepit dove, alone in the wilderness of pine forests for a long time you have been waiting for me (A. S. Pushkin).

Appeal, as noted above, is possible not only to persons, but in poetic speech and to inanimate objects: in this case, it is one of the methods of impersonation. Thanks, native side, your healing space! (N.A. Nekrasov) Idle thought's friend, my inkwell, I decorated my monotonous century with you (A. S. Pushkin).

Algorithm for completing task B5

("write down the numbers indicating commas when referring"):

1) If in task B5 you need to write out the numbers denoting commas when addressing, make sure that the word or combination of words you find is pronounced with a special (vocative) intonation and calls the person to whom the speech is being addressed: the appeal is possible not only to persons, but also to inanimate objects.

2) Remember that the address in a sentence is usually a noun in the nominative case or another part of speech in the meaning of a noun.

3) Do not forget that the appeal can be extended by explanatory words and be a combination of several words.

Appeal- this is a word or phrase that names the person (less often - the subject) to whom the speech is addressed.

1. Appeal can be expressed in one word and more than one word.

One word address is expressed by a noun or any part of speech in the function of a noun in the nominative case, non-single-word treatment may include words dependent on this noun or an interjection about:

For example:

Dear granddaughter, why did you rarely call me?

Waiting for a flight from Sochi, go to the arrivals area.

Again I am yours, oh young friends! (the title of the elegy of A. S. Pushkin).

2. An appeal can be expressed by a noun in the form of an oblique case if it denotes a sign of the object or person to whom the speech is addressed.

For example: Hey, in a hat, are you extreme?

Appeals can be expressed by special, descriptive phrases, which are distinguished as ordinary address-names: - Hey, on the scow!- said Reg (Green); - Hey, who is stronger, come here to the gate(P. Kapitsa).

3. Personal pronouns you and you, as a rule, do not act as appeals: they perform the function of the subject if they have predicate verbs.

For example: If you, the reader, love autumn, then you know that in autumn the water in the rivers becomes bright from the cold. blue color (Paust.) - the appeal is reader, and the pronoun you combined with the verb you love.

Pronouns you , you can take on the call function in the following cases:

but) in designs with separate definition or defining adnexal part: You are the third from the edge, with a mop on his forehead, I don't know you. I love you!(Ascension); You, whose wide overcoats resembled sails, whose spurs rang merrily and voices, and whose eyes, like diamonds, left a mark on the heart, are charming dandies past years (Color);

b) when used independently, usually with interjections hey, well, eh and etc.: Oh, you women, women! Gardening your heads(Cool.); - Oh, you! And don't you mind sitting next to Chebuhayka? - he throws on the go(Cool .); Tsyts, you! She is no longer your servant(M. G.); “He has a headache,” Bayev sympathized with his heart. – Eh-h... you. Residents!(Shuksh.);

in) as part of other requests: Dear friend you are mine don't be ashamed...(Fad.); You are my dear(Shuksh.).

The appeal is not grammatically related to the sentence, is not a member of the sentence.

Punctuation marks when addressing

1. Appeals are usually distinguished (or separated) by commas, and with a special emotional load - by an exclamation point after the appeal.

For example: Congratulations, comrades, on a safe arrival(paust.)

- Don't go, Volodya, - said Rodion(Ch.).

Farewell, it's time, my joy! I'll jump off now, conductor(Past.) . Calm down, wind. Don't bark, water glass(Es.). See clearly, comrade sighted, by the lake in the drain of water(Ascension).

The vocative intonation is enhanced if the appeal is placed at the end of the sentence.

For example:

- Hello, brothers! - he said(Ch.);

Farewell, it's time for the outskirts! Life is a change of ashes(Ascension).

2. Multiple hits are separated by commas or exclamation marks.

For example: " My dear, my dear, my torment, my anguish ", - she read (Ch.); Goodbye, my happiness, my short happiness! (Cupr.); Proletarian! Poor brother... When you receive this letter, I will already be flying away(Ch.).

Appeals connected by union And , are not separated by a comma.

For example: cry, tavern violins and harps (Vozn).

3. If after the appeal there is a definition or application, then it is isolated; such a definition is perceived as a second appeal.

For example: Grandpa, dear where have you been? (rasp.); Miller, darling, get up. On the shore of the lights! (Paust.).

4. Parts of the dissected address are allocated separately, each in itself.

For example: Hear me good, hear me beautiful, my evening dawn, unquenchable love! (Is.); ABOUT, my neglected thank you and kiss you hands of the Motherland, timidity, friendship, family (Past.).

5. If the call ends interrogative sentence followed by a question mark.

For example: Hear Dmitry Petrovich? I will come to you in Moscow(Ch.); When will Kara-Ada finally be, captain?(Paust.); What's wrong with you, blue sweater?(Ascension); Did you pray at night, birch? Did you pray at night overturned lakes Senezh, Svityaz and Naroch? Did you pray at night Cathedrals of the Intercession and Assumption? (Ascension).

6. Particles oh ah ah and others facing appeals are not separated from them.

For example: Oh my darling my gentle, beautiful garden! (Ch.).

- Prosh, and Prosh! - Called Prokhor Abramovich(Plat.).

Oh Nadya, Nadya we would be happy...(OK.).

Oh whirlwind, feel all the depths and hollows(Past.).

O bunch of retribution! Tossed in one gulp to the West - I'm ashes uninvited guest! (Ascension).

Oh youth, phoenix, fool, all in flames cum!(Ascension).

O heart-loving deceptions, delusions of infancy! On the day when the glades turn green, I have no deliverance from you.(Ill.).

7. If there is an interjection before the appeal (unlike a particle, it is accented), then it is separated by a comma or an exclamation mark.

For example:

- Oh, dear Nadia, - Sasha began his usual after-dinner conversation(Ch.);

- Hey, three octopuses for threading, go get the bolt! - From that day on, Zakhar Pavlovich was called the nickname "Three Octopuses for Carving"(Plat.). The word o can also act as an interjection (meaning Oh ): ABOUT, my lost freshness, riot of eyes and flood of feelings (Es.).

An interjection (as a call to attention) can itself act as an appeal.

For example: Hey watch out! Make a closure!(Ascension).

- Hey, be careful out there! shouted Stepakha.(Cool.).

Where? What are you? Hey!(Shuksh.).

8. After the appeal, which is a separate vocative sentence (Sentence-address, i.e., a one-part sentence in which the main and only member is the name of the person addressing the speech), an ellipsis or an exclamation mark is placed - single or in combination with ellipsis.

For example: - Miller! whispered Shatsky.(Paust.); Anya, Anya!(Ch.); - Sing! .. - Lyalka is again in the window(Shuksh.);

- Mother ... And mother! he called his old woman(Shuksh.); “Brothers ...” he said quietly, and his voice broke(Paust.).

Appeal- this is a word or phrase that names the person to whom or to what the speech is addressed. For example: Wouldn't you chase, pop, for cheapness(Pushkin).

The main purpose of the appeal is to attract attention, although sometimes the appeal can express an attitude towards the interlocutor. For example: What are you doing sweetie?(Ostrovsky).

In one sentence, there can even be several calls directed to the same addressee, one of which only names the listener, and the other evaluates, for example: Go, my dear, Ilya Ilyich!(Goncharov).

Sometimes in poetic speech perhaps a rhetorical personification-address. It calls inanimate object become part of the conversation. For example: Noise, noise, obedient sail, Wave under me, gloomy ocean.(Pushkin.)

The appeal is not a member of the sentence, but may have dependent words, that is, be common, for example: Low house with blue shutters, I will never forget you!(Yesenin).

In the letter, appeals are separated by commas. If the appeal is emotionally colored and is at the beginning of the sentence, then it may be followed by an exclamation mark. Compare the examples below:

What, daddy, got up so early? (Pushkin)
Guys! Isn't Moscow behind us? (Lermontov)

In official letters, appeals are usually written on a separate line. In this case, an exclamation mark is placed after the appeal. For example:

Dear Ivan Ivanovich!

Please note: the word DEAR is included in the appeal and is not separated by a comma. Compare:

Hello Ivan Ivanovich!

In this example, after the word HELLO, a comma is needed, since it is not part of the appeal, but acts as a predicate.

Interjection- This is a special part of speech that serves to express various feelings and volitional impulses. This part of speech includes the words AY!, AH!, Alas!, BATYUSHKI! and others.

Interjections, like appeals, are not members of a sentence, and are separated in writing by a comma or an exclamation mark.

Alas! His confused mind could not resist the terrible upheavals (Pushkin).
Life, alas, is not an eternal gift (Pushkin).

Like many spelling rules, this rule has an exception that needs to be remembered. If the interjection O in a sentence comes before an appeal, then a comma or an exclamation mark is not placed between the interjection and the appeal. Compare:

Oh, why am I not a bird, not a steppe raven! (Lermontov).
Your holy sentence, oh heaven, is not right (Lermontov).

In addition, you need to know that sometimes interjections are part of whole combinations, for example: EH YOU, EH YOU, WELL, AY YES. In this case, commas are not needed, for example: Well, what to do now?

Addressing someone, we call our addressee. This word, as we call it, is called in Russian an appeal. Sometimes it is expressed in several words, between which punctuation marks or conjunctions are placed. Also, often in a sentence, the phrase acts as an appeal. Examples: " Mother, I love you. Mom and dad you are the most precious people to me. Dear Mom, I love you".

What words express appeal

Expression of emotions

Feelings of joy and sadness, rage and admiration, caress and anger can express an appeal. Examples show how emotion can be conveyed not only by intonation, but also with the help of suffixes, definitions, applications: " Nadia don't leave us! Do not think, pitiful little fanfare that scared me. Nightingale, my light how sweet you sing!"

Vocative suggestions. Common Treatments

Appeals can be very similar to so-called vocative sentences. These sentences contain a semantic connotation. But it does not have an appeal. Examples of a vocative sentence and a sentence with an appeal: "Ivan!" she said with desperation. / We need to talk, Ivan".

In the first case, we are dealing with a vocative sentence that contains the semantic coloring of prayer, despair, hope. In the second case, it's just a call.

Examples of sentences in which this speech component is common demonstrate how wordy and detailed the appeals are: " The young maiden who loosened her braids and parted her lips for a love song you will dream of me. You, who spoke of glory and freedom, who forgot all their promises don't expect mercy."

IN colloquial speech common appeals are dissected in the sentence: "Where, mil you go human?"

Address and styles of speech

In literary and colloquial speech, "Do not torment me, you, sadness-longing! Where are you taking me track stitches?"

For calls, it is quite common to use constructions with a particle about. If this particle is used with a pronoun, it is usually accompanied by a definitive subordinate clause: "Oh you, who recently answered me with a grin Have your eyes fallen?"

Particle Handling but more common in colloquial speech: Masha and Masha where is our porridge?"

Place of reference in the proposal

The appeal can be at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the sentence: " Andrey what happened to you yesterday? / What happened to you, Andrey happened yesterday? / What happened to you yesterday Andrey?"

Appeals may not be part of sentences, but used independently: " Nikita Andreevich! So why aren't you going?"

Punctuation marks when addressing

The appeal, in whatever part of the sentence it may be, is always separated by commas. If it is taken out of the structure and is independent, then most often an exclamation mark is placed after it. Let's give examples of a sentence with an appeal, separated by punctuation marks.

  • If the appeal is used at the beginning of a sentence, then a comma is placed after it: " Dear Natalia Nikolaevna sing to us!"
  • If the appeal is located inside the sentence, it is isolated on both sides: "I recognize you, Cute, along the gait".
  • If the appeal is placed at the end of the sentence, then we put a comma before it, and after it the sign that the intonation requires - a period, ellipsis, exclamation mark or question mark: "What did you eat for dinner, children?"

And here are examples in which the appeal is outside the sentence: " Sergey Vitalievich! Urgently in the operating room! / Dear Motherland! How often I thought of you in a foreign land!

If the treatment is used with a particle about, then the punctuation mark between it and the appeal is not put: " Oh sweet garden I breathe in the scent of your flowers again!"

Rhetorical address

Usually addresses are used in dialogues. In the poetic, they are involved in stylistic coloring messages. One of such stylistically significant is the rhetorical appeal. We see an example in the famous poem by M. Yu. Lermontov "The Death of a Poet": "You, the greedy crowd standing at the throne, are the executioners of Freedom, Genius and Glory!" (This, by the way, is also a sample of a common address.)

The peculiarity of a rhetorical appeal is that, like a rhetorical question, it does not require an answer or response. It simply reinforces the expressive message of speech.

APPEAL

The concept of circulation

A word or combination of words that names the addressee of the speech, is an inversion. Most often, proper names act as addresses; less often - nicknames of animals or names of inanimate objects.

The appeal can stand outside the sentence or be part of it, located anywhere - at the beginning of the sentence, in the middle, at the end. Even being included in the composition of the proposal, the appeal does not become a member of it, i.e. does not have a coordinating or subordinating connection with other words and retains the isolation of its position and grammatical independence. For example: - Children, go to the rooms! - Anna Afanasyevna (Kupr.) shouted from the dining room; I don't feel well, Christia, I don't know what to do! (M. G.); Give me a paw, Jim, for good luck (Ec.); My end! Beloved Russia and Mordva! By the parable of the darkness, you, as before, are alive (Es.).

The appeal is accompanied special vocative intonation. She especially highlights the appeal that stands outside the sentence: Father! Father! Leave threats, do not scold your Tamara (L.).

Such appeals are easy turn into special independent sentences - vocative.For example: - Grandma! - Olesya (Kupr.) said reproachfully, with an arrangement. The handling here is complicated functionally; it not only names a person, but conveys various shades of meaning accompanying this name: reproach, fear, joy, reproachfully condescending attitude, etc., i.e. conveys subjective modality. Offers-addresses are especially rich in intonation shades.

    The vocative intonation of a standing address at the beginning offers, somewhat weakened Fair-haired wind, how happy you are! (Pinch.).

    Appeal worthwhile inside sentences, may have an introductory intonation (quick pronunciation rate, lowering of the voice) or an exclamatory intonation (the addition of a particle o conveys special poetry and pathos in this case), for example: Crush, crush, night wave, and irrigate the banks with foam ... (L.); Let me be covered with cold earth, oh friend! always, everywhere my soul is with you (L.).

    Appeal located in the end sentences can be weakly highlighted intonationally if it does not have special semantic or expressive functions, for example: - What's your name, beauty? - asked the student affectionately (Kupr.). However, the general exclamatory intonation of the sentence can contribute to the emphasis of the appeal: Hello, people of peaceful labor, noble workers! (Pan.)

Handling, except main function - to attract the attention of the interlocutor, may have more evaluation function when the called person (or object) is characterized from one side or another, such appeals are often expressive words- But, mother, you are my dove! You are in your seventh decade (Pan.); - Shut up, worm! - Slavyanov (Kupr) threw him with a tragic gesture. Such appeals rich in intonation shades of pronunciation:Wait, honey! Sing along! (Cupr.); Yes, what did you do, you stupid head? (Cupr.); Ah, my dear, life is so beautiful (Kupr.); Hang around here, Labardians! (Kupr.).

Ways of expressing appeals

To express addresses in the Old Russian language, there was a special form of the vocative case. Remains can be found in literature XIX c., for example: What do you want, old man? (P.). Such forms partially preserved in modern Russian as interjections and interjectional expressions:Lord, my God, my God, my fathers, my lights and some others.

In modern Russian language of address expressed in the nominative case of a noun or a substantiated part of speech. For example: What, boy, got you through? (Cupr.); We, comrades, are great patriots of the plant (Pan.); You, Nastasya Ilyinichna, are lucky in life (Pan.); - Hello, sixth! - I heard the thick, calm voice of the colonel (Kupr.); Use life, living (Beetle).

IN colloquial speech special forms of nouns are common for expressing appeals - truncated, for example: Tanya, Tanya ... (M. G.); Mom, what about you? (Fed.). Spoken language is characterized reception of repetition of references with a particle(reinforced call to attention): grandmother? What about grandma? You are alive? (Paust.); - Ivan, and Ivan, - Listar pestered him ... (M.-Sib.).

IN folklore works there are special types of calls, which are tautological repetitions: path-path, friends-comrades, sadness-longing.

For works of art- especially poetic and oratorical - are characteristic common appeals. Usually these are nouns, equipped with agreed and inconsistent definitions, applications, and even attributive clauses. These appeals characterize an object or person, convey an attitude towards it. For example: - Dear Nadia, my dear girl, - says my mother, - do you want something? (Kupr.): Farewell, dear forest, forgive me, golden spring (Es.); A young mare, an honor of the Caucasian brand, why are you rushing, daring? (P.); Black, then reeking howl! How can I not caress you, not love you? (Ec.); The stars are clear, the stars are high! What do you keep in yourself, what do you hide? Stars that conceal deep thoughts, with what power do you captivate the soul? (Ec.); Come, chained to the canvas by the power of my power, look from it at these tailcoats ... (Garsh.).

The appeal is often expressed pronoun with particle o. This appeal is usually accompanied by attributive clauses, for example:O you, whose letters are many, many in my portfolio! Sometimes I look at them sternly, but I can’t throw them into the stove (K).

Common Treatments can be quite lengthy, their characteristic quality then becomes the content of the proposal:You, gray from the ashes of the burned villages, hanging the shadow of your wings over life, you, who were waiting for us to crawl on our knees, you did not awaken horror, but you awakened rage in us (Tvard.); A soldier's son who grew up without a father and ahead of schedule matured noticeably, you are not excommunicated from the joys of the earth by the memory of a hero and father (Tward).

Common calls can be broken down. This is characteristic of colloquial speech or speech that reproduces colloquial: Stronger, horse, beat, hoof, minting a step (Bagr.); Where, smart, are you wandering, head? (Cr.).

Appeals can line up in a homogeneous row, for example: Sing, people, cities and rivers, sing, mountains, steppes and seas (Surk.); Hear me, good one, hear me, beautiful one, my evening dawn, unquenchable love! (Isak.).

Homogeneous Treatments may formally coincide with a combination of an appeal and an application with it, for example: To you, the Caucasus, the harsh king of the earth, I again dedicate a careless verse ... (L.). The inversion here is the word Caucasus, it is propagated by the application harsh king of the earth.

In colloquial speech, as addresses can be used unmanaged prepositional case forms. Such forms are contextually or situationally determined. They call the addressee of the speech according to a single, situationally identified feature. For example: FROM higher education, step forward! (Kar.); Hey on the boat! Release the port side (B. Paul.); Hey, there, in the boats, don't get under the wheels! (B. Paul.).

The scope of applications is very wide. They are a characteristic accessory of colloquial speech, especially dialogic. main function such appeals name of the addressee of the speech. In speech, poetic and oratorical appeals perform special stylistic functions: are carriers of expressive-evaluative meanings; as a rule, they are metaphorical: You are my abandoned land, you are my land, a wasteland, unmowed hayfield, a forest and a monastery (Es.); Flash, last needle, in the snow! Arise, fire-breathing mist! Throw up your snowy ashes! (Bl.); Recede, like an ebb, all daytime, empty excitement, loneliness, stand, like a month, above my hour! (Bruce); Wandering spirit! You stir the flame of your mouth less and less. Oh, my lost freshness, riot of eyes and flood of feelings! (Ec.); Sorry homestay. What has served you, and I am already pleased with that (Es.); O wisdom of the most generous Indian summer, I accept you with joy (Berg.); “Forgive me, goodbye, my dryness!” - he said with the words of the song (Shol.).
