FEATURES OF FUNCTIONING OF ADDRESSES IN VIRTUAL GAMING COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The article describes the functions of addresses and describes their arsenal in the communication of participants in the game forum. It is found that most often addresses are spoken words with friendly or familiar shade, denoting a group of people and at the same time being identifiers of participants in the “their” system. Addresses, in addition to the main nominative function, have also vocative, motivational, socially-regulative, emotive and evaluative-characterizing functions.
