Abstract. The article studies cognitive, pragmatic and linguistic features of incomplete replies as a part of the communicative strategy of evasion by the material of television talk-show programmes. The work aims to study ways in which incomplete replies function in a question-and-answer speech complex from the perspective of (de)focusing cognitive mechanisms underlying the evasion strategy, which has determined novelty of the research. As a result of the carried-out analysis, the mechanisms most frequently employed in incomplete replies are discovered, the most common lexical and stylistic means of realising these mechanisms are determined.
