The linguistics of emotions currently occupies an important position in research. Emotions, permeating all human activities, are reflected at all levels of the language. This determines the vast interest of linguists to them. The authors of the article consider the class of emotive causatives and its functional semantic features. This class is a subclass of causatives, the semantics of which is associated with the impact in order to evoke certain emotions. The functional features of these units lie in the fact that they are the result of intercategorical interaction. The language unit forms categorical semantic complexes while interacting in speech with elements of the environment and other categories within the framework of a categorical situation. The authors of the article analyze emotive-causative categorical semantic complex. Expression is the product of emotion, and emotions arise under the influence of means of expressiveness. Thus, using the example of emotive causatives, we observe intercategorical interaction of different-level elements of the language system in speech.
In this article, the example of a causative situation actualizing the modification of the emotional state is used to consider semantic variants of expressing the meaning of intensification. The study is conducted from the viewpoint of functional grammar, particularly, semantic categories of intensification, causativeness, emotiveness and their intercategorial interaction. The category of intensification reflects the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the phenomenon which may be accompanied by estimated values. As a result, intensification increase serves to increase the expressive power of the utterance. Thus, in situations with emotive causations, we observe an example of intercategorial interaction of several categories: intensification, evaluation, expressiveness. The purpose of the paper is to identify and systematize adverb intensifiers relating to the expressive means of the language and implementing the function of enhanced influence on the addressee. The object of the analysis are aspects of intercategorial interaction. The focus of the current study are adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. Methods of contextual analysis, definition and synonyms analysis, generalizing and interpretation are used to classify adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. It is concluded that the intercategorical interaction of these categories is a tool for purposeful influence on the addressee of the utterance.
In this article, from the standpoint of functional grammar, the category of emotive causatives is analyzed, by which we mean the verbs of interpersonal interaction, realizing their meaning in the categorical situation of causation and modification of emotional interaction. In speech, we observe the interaction of categorical elements of the utterance, which actualize various categories. In this case, we observe the functioning of a categorical semantic complex - a set of semantic categories functionally united by a common intentionality. We analyze the situation of modification of the mental sphere in the object of causation, namely, the causation of emotional modification, therefore we single out the emotive-causative categorical complex. The main content of the complex is the actualization of a positive or negative modification of the emotional state of the object of causation, and it is implemented by two categorical semes: emotive seme and cause seme. The category of expressiveness interacts with the category of emotive causatives in speech, therefore, we single out the emotive-expressive-causative categorical semantic subcomplex. When implementing such a subcomplex, the causer has an effect on the object of causation in order to change its emotional state. The result of causation in the situation of emotional modification lies in the meaning of the verb - the emotive causative.
The article focuses upon the features of the semantic potential of the emotive causative reizen. Emotive causatives are understood as causative verbs denoting interpersonal interaction resulting in modification of the emotional and psychological state of the subject. There are causatives actualizing positive and negative tone as well as axiological neutral state. The peculiarity of the verb reizen is that it can actualize all the three variants of emotional modification. The research is carried out in the aspect of functional grammar on the example of the semantic categories of causativeness, intensity and instrumentality and the interaction of these three categories. The aim of the article is to consider the cognitive scenario of the emotive causative reizen and expand its semantic potential as a result of intercategory interaction. The object of analysis is the features of the above emotive verb. The focus of our analysis is the semantic potential of this lexeme. Research methods are the following: contextual analysis, generalization and interpretation of the linguistic material...
The authors of the article focus on causative verbs that actualize emotional modification and the emotionally-causative categorical semantic complex that arises during the functioning of these verbs. The categorical semantic complex is considered as the result of intercategory interaction. The purpose of the article is to describe the above complex and its functional features, the object of analysis is a synthetic and analytical emotive causative, and their functional features. The subject of the study is the categorical situation of causation of emotional modification. It is dominant in utterance with emotive causation, but not the only one. For an emotionally causative categorical semantic complex, intercategory interaction with categories of intensity, expressiveness, and talkativeness becomes typical. Verbs of the Russian language, identified from explanatory and synonymous dictionaries, serve as material for the study. The article concludes that the main content of the emotionally-causative categorical semantic complex is the actualization of the positive or negative modification of the emotional state of the object of causation. A categorical semantic complex can include its semantic space and other semantic categories that are subordinate to the corresponding complexes in this category.
