Her theoretical research substantiates a classification of the main linguistic features of different kinds and types of refusal utterances; a scheme of possible ways in which certain classes of refusal utterances are generated in the addressee’s consciousness; a classification of refusal tactics; and cognitive models of the encoding and decoding of refusal meaning in English dialogic speech.
