EXCLAMATORY STATEMENTS AS A WAY OF EXPRESSING EMOTIONS IN A NOVEL “GENERATION ‘P’” BY V. O. PELEVIN

Abstract

The research considers exclamatory statements in fiction in the category of emotiveness. Based on the literary text of “Generation ‘P’” by V.O. Pelevin, it is shown that the use of positive and negative exclamations is an important way of indicating the dominance of the subjective-emotional. Positive and negative exclamations, aimed at expressing complex, compound or mixed emotions, are distinguished by a rich emotive function in Russian literary texts. The contents of emotional expressions of exclamations in Russians when expressing emotions are demonstrated and revealed. Positive and negative emotions of exclamatory utterances in literary texts are important factors in establishing the general properties of emotional utterances and are of particular importance in cultural linguistics. Studying the types of emotional statements in exclamations in Russian works of art helps us achieve better effects in expressing emotional content and better understand Russian culture.
