Abstract. The paper examines the addressee’s various reactions to a hint in the German film discourse, taking into consideration communication conditions. The paper takes into account the type of the addressee, as well as whether there is a third party present during communication or not. The correct interpretation of a hint by the addressee depends on many factors. One of the most important prerequisites for the understanding of a hint is that the addresser and the addressee have the same code. Scientific originality of the study lies in creating a typology of the addressee’s reaction to a hint in the modern German film discourse. As a result of the study, two types of reaction have been identified: understanding a hint without clarification and with clarification of the addresser’s implicit illocutionary act. The researcher has also found an example in which the addressee interprets a direct statement as a hint. This allows for consideration of another type of reaction in a further study.
Key words and phrases: намек, косвенный адресат, прямой адресат, имплицитный иллокутивный акт, кинодискурс, hint, indirect addressee, direct addressee, implicit illocutionary act, film discourse
