Anthropocentric Approach to Language: Phatics and its Properties

In linguistics, the informational and phatic functions of speech are distinguished. A phatic function is a function that determines the need to continue or terminate a connection, that is, the existence of a connection established with the receiver. The main function of this process is to maintain communication. The article discusses the phatic function of language in the act of speech, phatics and phatic speech genres.
