摘要：AbstractThis article deals with the composite threat-practices that change interlocutors’ dispositions of emotional states within the communicative performative construct of threat and that may extend communicative space of this construct. The communicative threat construct allows us to study and organizeI-speaker andI-hearer's possible dispositions of emotional states generated by the threats in combination with additional elements in menasive communicative space. The number of additional elements points to the cognitive complexity of threat-acts. These elements can soften the effect of threats onI-hearer's emotional state and strengthen their complex pragmatic effect.
