COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE AND SPEECH ETIQUETTE: SOCIOLINGUISTIC AND PRAGMATIC DIMENSIONS

Abstract

The article explores communication etiquette and speech etiquette as interrelated systems governing human interaction in various social and cultural contexts. Special attention is given to their sociolinguistic conditioning, cultural variability, pragmatic functions, and transformations in the digital age. The study demonstrates that etiquette is not a static set of rules but a dynamic communicative mechanism shaped by social structure, identity, and technological change.
