1.3 Emotive adjectives
Emotive adjectives are dominated by vocabulary with initial meanings (60%), although the share of secondary nominations is quite large (40%). It should be noted that the largest percentage of nominative-derived meanings falls on adjectives.
Emotive adjectives such as sad, in love, timid, unlike other qualitative adjectives, have their own rather limited scope of denotation: they are primarily focused on reflecting the mental properties and states of a person. This display can be direct, immediate and indirect, mediated (compare: a joyful or sad person and a joyful or sad landscape).
By the nature of the lexico-grammatical semantics, emotive adjectives gravitate equally to both verbs and abstract nouns. The similarity with nouns, abstract in the first place, is manifested in the extreme abstractness of the depicted emotive feature and partly in its grammatical structure. An emotive adjective has a combination of meanings that convey an emotion as an existential state (the identifier "causing a feeling"), an expression of an emotional state (the identifier "expressing a feeling"), an expression of an emotional state (an identifier "expressing a feeling"), an emotional attitude (an identifier "related to feeling" ). For example, evil - 1. Filled with feelings of ill will, hostile, full of malice, anger; // Expressing anger, anger; // Angry at someone, something, experiencing anger. 2. Called out, imbued with malice, anger, hostility. 3. Strongly touching, caustic. Thus, the word evil is capable of conveying emotion as a state found in appearance, as an attitude.
As we can see, in the dictionary meaning of an emotive adjective, emotive meanings are embryonic, although they are supplemented by folded reference points of universal deployment into the text: state - attitude - impact - manifestation. Only the context removes the semantic blurring of these adjectives (for example: a joyful person (state) - a joyful look (manifestation) - a joyful day (impact). In speech, emotive adjectives are components of complex emotive nominations, which in their structure are very similar to the seme structure of differential emotive vocabulary with the included emotive-defining seme (trick, insidious, evil prank, trick; anthem, enthusiastic praise, doxology).But when using emotive adjectives, we have expanded analytical complex nominations, and in the case of differential-emotive vocabulary - collapsed synthetic complex nominations.
So, emotive adjectives are semantically and functionally attracted to the verb due to their obvious situationality, and formally grammatically gravitate towards nouns.
