The article focuses on the analysis of the speech act of condolence from the point of view of its sense unity configuration. The article provides a brief pragmatic characteristic of condolence which may be referred to the group of sympathic speech acts within the major class of expressives. Based on the multi-component dynamic model of sense, the author gives a detailed description of every single sense element in condolence utterances and determines their position in the general sense complex. The author concludes on the central, foreground position of the intentional component in the whole sense unity of condolences, the propositional component being implicit.
