Abstract

This article is devoted to functional properties of French and Belarusian language signs used in different situations of interpersonal communication and naming family members. Vocatives used for addressing to family members are also studied.

Possibilities of verbal representation of interpersonal relations existing in Belarusian and French families are considered. The ontological status of family as mental space in which kinship entities are hierarchically correlated is revealed by the author. The basic characteristics of family communicative functions were studied according to value regulators expressed by means of legal terminology, connotative and ceremonial vocabulary as well as culturally marked lexical units. National and cultural components verbally objectified should be taken into account when studying family as communicative and personal space in French and Belarusian linguistic communities.
