Summary/Abstract: The paper dwells on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of an apology speech act in spoken language discourse with respect to its syntactic-semantic realizations as well as the pragmatic aspect of the exact communicative act which will contribute extensively to the second language acquisition of Bulgarian students when studying speech act formulas and strategies in English. In particular, the paper dwells on the form, function, meaning, and usage of the performative verb ‘regret’ in the English language.
