NATURE OF EMOTIVE SYNTAX AND ITS CATEGORIES

Abstract

The article presents the results of the research performed on the basis of traditional
grammar, psychomechanics of the language, neurolinguistics and psychophysiology of
consciousness. This fusion of the linguistic approaches allows the author to reveal principles
of organizing various structures of emotive syntax and nature of its categories. The
author argues that language emotiveness is a sphere of language consciousness based on
figurative thinking, and states that emotive syntax is a system of syntactic structures involving
potential emotionality realized due to integration of the fundamental principle of
emotive representation and the basis of forming grammatical categories of emotive syntax.
When emotionality is included in communicative and cognitive processes, it influences and
changes ordinary cogitative operations which accompany a speech unit expansion: emotional
perception of a denotative situation leads to revaluation of proposition that in its
turn causes a change in the order of actualization mechanisms, and hence – a change of
the grammatical (syntactic) structure of the utterance.
