Despite being known for a very long time, the toast as a non-literary genre still has been attracting re-searchers’ interest. The main reason for this interest is an enormous variety of this genre in terms of its topics and generic composition. Toasts are a part of etiquette consisting of linguistic behaviour and non-verbal effects serving as a kind of reference if interpretation problems arise. Toasts are usually treated as an illocutionary act expressing a certain intention. In the formal semantic analysis of toasts, a significant role is played by the situational context involving the speaker – the person proposing a toast, the hearer i.e. a group of people to whom the toast is made, and neutral observers participating in the act who are not direct addressees of the toast. The context also involves non-verbal behaviour accompanying words, such as certain gestures and requisites.
