Abstract. Currently, language is an integral component of human life in fast-paced society. We are able to convey information, express our emotions, thoughts, and so on, exactly, through language. The use of verbal means is one of the most important methods of representing human emotions. Their role is colossal in interpersonal communication. The expression of emotions by language units helps us to present ourselves and personality in society. Emotions have become an integral part of the mind, thinking, linguistic consciousness and behavior in economics, politics, culture, and education.
This article discusses various language units involved in the representation of human emotions in various contexts taken from the Russian National Corpus. Words are in constant connection with our intellectual and emotional life. The logical meaning of each word is surrounded by a special expressive atmosphere that changes depending on the context. There are many different situations and each is unique, so different means can be interpreted and perceived differently.
For modern linguistics, psycholinguistics, as well as other related sciences, the judgment that the study of various manifestations of emotions is outdated and irrelevant is erroneous and unfair. A person excessively often resorts to the method of verbalization when expressing his emotional experiences.
The relevance of this work lies in the fact that emotions in human activity perform the function of its evaluation and results. The Russian
National Corpus was chosen as the research material in order to analyze the llanguage picture of the world and culture of Russian people, since emotions are interpreted in different ways, endowing them with a social coloring, which affects the perception of the world by a person, as well as the semantic implementation of elements in the structure of the semantic vocabulary of emotions. The subject of the study is the language units of the Russian language (means of verbalization) that express emotions. The following methods are used: analysis of discourses on the research topic; descriptive method; structural-semantic analysis, continuous sampling method. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of using the materials of this work in further research on Russian lexicology, sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics.
