Abstract

The article deals with the problem of defining communicative functions of Aviation radiotelephony. Problems with Radio communication have been a significant cause or a contributory factor in many aircraft accidents and serious incidents. The communicative function of an utterance corresponds to the speaker's intention in producing a given message. The author gives the analysis of the language forms and functions. The classification of language functions has been presented, according to which there has been outlined seven different functions of language: instrumental, regulatory, representational, interactional, personal, heuristic, imaginative. The functions of Aviation radiotelephony discourse have been grouped into four categories corresponding to their role in carrying out ATC and piloting tasks. These categories are: triggering actions; sharing information; managing the pilot-controller relationship; managing the dialogue.
