THE PHENOMENON OF POSITIVE EMOTIONAL CONSIDERING THE RUSSIAN LEXICON

Abstract

The goal of the present article is to investigate the pragmatic aspect of meaning based on Russian vocabulary with positive emotional evaluation. This investigation helps to resolve various problems with lexicographical marks and create a new improved system of expressive marks, which can be used, in practical lexicography of various languages. The author proposed a hypothesis that the emotional evaluation can be defi ned with quite objective characteristics, which could be used in lexicographical and computational descriptions of languages. A word internal structure is a criterion, which let us refer some words to the emotional evaluative vocabulary. Different types of emotional evaluation have been defi ned. The author presents his own classifi cation of these types and marks and offers the new type of classifi cation of these lexical units based on GLT (lexical-thematical groups). It has been found out that belonging of a word to the determinate GLT according to its primary nominative semantics defines the sign of emotional evaluation (positive or negative) in its secondary evaluative meaning.
