Abstract
The category of evaluation as the linguo-stylistic conception is defined as appraisal meaning within semantic structure of the word which realizes the attitude of the language collective to the words correlation with the word conception or object (good/approve). The category of evaluation is closely connected with the denotative and connotative meanings. The word in the plan of content can be distinguished as positive and negative and in plan of expression as implicit or explicit. In the context the word can attain an evaluative component of good quality and this component can be realized implicitly or explicitly depending on the author’s outlook. The category of evaluation is characterized as the structure of the lexico-semantic field. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the realization of the category of evaluation in the discourse by means of the verbs of representation with the seme of the positive evaluation. These verbs are divided into three groups: (a) the verbs which possess a distinctive seme “evaluation”. The verb “to like” is a nucleous of the lexico-semantic field of the positive evaluation; (b) the verbs which express an evaluation contextually ( to agree, to admit, to adopt, to approve, to dream, to hope, to expect, to praise, to pride, to value, to wish, to want); (c) the verbs of substitution (to do, to be). These verbs can be considered as the auxiliary and representative. In both of these functions they explicate the category of evaluation.
