CATEGORIES OF RATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND SPEECH

Abstract

Rational and emotional are universal linguistic supercategories. They are represented in both lexical and grammatical systems and expressed through the specific set of particular categories and formal means. Rationality of the parts of speech in the modern Russian language is represented by a system of forms and categorial meanings, such as objectivity, processuality, attributivity. Subjectivity, emotionality are shaped by a system of particles and the categories of interjections. Rational means of the Russian language form sentences, that is define the unity of grammatical system. In the structure of the language the realization of analytical expressive forms of intensity takes place (Rus. как - какой, так - такой). In the real colloquial speech rational and emotional means coincide, which is expressed especially vividly in the infinitive sentences.
