Abstract: The pragmalinguistic features of the question as an act of speech are considered. Being similar to motives in relation to illocutionary force and perlocutionary effect, the questions differ significantly from them in their locative and propositional components, which makes it possible to separate the questions into a separate group of speech acts. A study of the question based on the material of modern American films shows that 70% of interrogative statements are used as direct speech acts, directly to request information. Among them, about a quarter contain secondary illocutions. Questions as indirect acts of speech (mainly to express a sentence) are implemented in 20% of statements. Rhetorical (false) questions made up only 10% of all interrogative statements.
Key words: pragmalinguistics, speech acts, questions, the American version of the English language.
