SPECIFICS OF VERBALIZATION OF EVALUATION OF A WORK OF FINE ART ON THE MATERIAL OF AN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE ART CRITICAL TEXT

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of mechanism for evaluation of a work of fine art as a visual artifact by the reader of an art critical text. Evaluation is an important subject of modern linguistics, which determines the relevance of the study. In this article, the evaluation phenomenon is interpreted as a triple predicate with three arguments. The purpose of the research is to study ways of linguistic representation of elements of the evaluation process, namely the subject, object and nature of the evaluation. Analysis of the semantics of lexical units reflecting the nature of evaluation is carried out. The obtained results show the monotony of the implementation of the first argument and the diversity of the representation of the evaluation object. Attention is drawn to the fact that the means of expressing the nature of the evaluation can be either a positive or a negative vector. The problems described in the article allow drawing conclusions about using certain linguistic means by an art critic to evaluate the work of art.
