EMOTIONAL AND EVALUATIVE VOCABULARY IN DAGESTAN RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE MEDIA

Abstract

In the paper, the authors identify and describe the emotional and evaluative vocabulary in Dagestan Russian-language media. In the course of the study, the structural, semantic and functional features of this vocabulary are determined. It is established that the evaluative vocabulary in Dagestan Russian-language journalism is presented in two varieties: unambig- uous words with evaluative meaning and words expressing evaluation in figurative metaphorical meanings. Formations with suffixes of subjective evaluation, characteristic of the Russian language, are not represented in the material. In the texts of Dagestan newspapers, the use of stylistically reduced vocabulary, borrowings, neologisms is observed. A productive evaluative means is metaphors, mainly the author’s individual metaphor, characterized by unusual figurative use and pragmatic orientation.
