FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SWEDISH MODAL PARTICLE VÄL
The article studies semantics and functions of the Swedish modal particle väl in dialogic texts based on the play of the modern Swedish playwright Lars Norén called «Tyst musik» («Silent Music»). The relevance of the article is due to the lack of studies of Swedish modal particles based on such material. The analysis of the examples showed that väl is distinguished by its functional versatility and has many pragmatic meanings, which are revealed in the dialogue and depend on the context. As the interactive function of väl appears in most examples, the author speaks of väl as a dialogical particle focused on the addressee of the utterance.
