THE CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE EMOTIVE-EVALUATIVE LEXIS

This article represents the analysis of definitions of such linguistic notion as the emotive-evaluative lexis, produced and studied by many authors, both domestic and foreign. Some researchers consider it to be an independent type of language that creates bonds between people and has a power to affect those bonds and the attitudes of participants of the communication. Others believe that the emotive-evaluative lexis is a part of the language that is represented by stylistically marked words and expressions with a connotative and denotative meaning. This article also studies the term of connotation and its relation to the emotive-evaluative lexis, which is expressed in evaluation and emotiveness being essential components of the connotation. There are also classifications of emotive-evaluative lexis, depending on the coloring of the connotation and the way of interpreting the estimation of the words. The present article has a scientific potential justified by the importance of future studies on the ways and methods of teaching the emotive-evaluative lexis and the necessity to implement a methodological basis for the successful learning of this type of vocabulary by university students.
