This article is devoted to the issues of functioning of lexical, grammatical and prosodic means of expressing expression in imperative sentences of the Avar language. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of works in Dagestan studies examining propositions of motivational semantics in a communicative and pragmatic aspect, that is, from the point of view of interpreting motivational statements in certain communicative contexts. Therefore, the object of research in the article is verbal and non-verbal means that implement an incentive intention in interpersonal communication and formalize an incentive speech act. The research material is extracted from the Avar language corpus. Along with the descriptive method, the article uses a communicative-pragmatic approach that provides a strategy for researching the ontological and functional properties of linguistic units that make up their pragmatic value in various acts of communication.
Keywords: аварский язык; communicative and pragmatic approach; motivational speech act.
