Abstract. The article describes specificity of responsive replicas with the interrogative word "why" that are widely used in the Russian dialogic speech. The research objective includes analysing the structure, meaning, pragmatic function and intonation of "why"-replicas as responses to the modus. The study is based on the Russian National Corpus data. Scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that the author for the first time provides a comprehensive analysis of "why"-replicas functioning in the Russian dialogic speech. The findings indicate that "why"-replicas considered as responses to the interlocutor’s modus tend to transform into a conventionalized indirect speech act - objection to the interlocutor’s claim - or a negative reply to a question.
Key words and phrases: "почему" как маркер возражения, реакция на модус, интонация, конвенционализованный косвенный речевой акт, коммуникативная стратегия, русская диалогическая речь, "why" as marker of objection, response to modus, intonation, conventionalized indirect speech act, communicative strategy, Russian dialogic speech
