NATIONAL-CULTURAL SPECIFICS OF EXPRESSING OF EMOTIONS BY INTERJECTIONS

Abstract

The article considers a current problem of the specifics of the expressing of emotions by interjections in the English and Lezghin languages, as ones of various cultures and traditions. Interjections relate to verbal means of representing emotions. They always function in close connection with non-verbal means: intonation, gestures and facial expressions. It is necessary to examine non-verbal means in the analysis of interjections, because every interjection, depending on the accompanying non-verbal means, can express very different values. In both English and Lezghin languages, the same interjection can express different emotions, at the result of isomorphism of the studied language units. Allomorphism is displayed in English etiquette interjections, which are emotionally neutral, and in Lezghin, interjections serving speech etiquette emotionally.
