About the types of classification verbs of speaking in English and Russian

the article discusses issues related to the history of the types of classification of speaking verbs in English and Russian. This paper examines the scientific literature concerning the verbs of speech in English and Russian. Due to the heterogeneity of this group of verbs, its classification presents certain difficulties. They come down to distinguishing the verbs of speech. Linguists were engaged in the study of this problem. It is noted that the verbs of speech in both languages are united by the equivalence of their classical meanings and the sphere of use. There is a commonality of the leading verbs of speech in both languages. In the analyzed works of researchers, there are some fluctuations regarding the place, role, and types of classification of speaking verbs in these languages. There is a lack of unity in the linguistic definition of the verbs of speech. A number of scientists consider the semantics of speech verbs, others – the lexico-semantic groups of these verbs, and others study speech verbs as a semantic field.
