EVALUATIVE COMPONENT OF CONNOTATIVE MEANING IN POETIC TEXTS

Abstract

This article demonstrates different aspects identified in the structure of the evaluation category. The generalized characteristic of scientific research on evaluation semantics is given. In this paper, the evaluative meaning is considered as a part of the connotative side of language unit’s semantics. On the basis of a detailed analysis of the functioning of the evaluative component of connotative meaning in a poetic text, the author suggests an approach to determine the structural elements and characteristics of the evaluative meaning. The article supports the idea that a certain understanding of the structure of the semantic category cannot be universal and must be adapted in accordance with the aims of the research.
