The Notion «Conflict» in the Context of Psycholinguistic Researches

The abstract presents the results of the study of conflict dialogical units. The ambiguity of the noun ‘conflict’ is due primarily to the origin and development of its semantic structure and denotes a wide range of different phenomena of everyday life. The notion ‘conflict’ can be reflected in different types of dialogic units. These findings are confirmed and explained by the results of linguistic analysis. The author believes that speech act of disagreement is a prerequisite for creating a conflict dialogue because it is an act of verbal interaction. Non-verbal means actualize the conflict situation.
