Emotional Interaction

In this article, from the standpoint of functional grammar, the category of emotive causatives is analyzed, by which we mean the verbs of interpersonal interaction, realizing their meaning in the categorical situation of causation and modification of emotional interaction. In speech, we observe the interaction of categorical elements of the utterance, which actualize various categories. In this case, we observe the functioning of a categorical semantic complex - a set of semantic categories functionally united by a common intentionality. We analyze the situation of modification of the mental sphere in the object of causation, namely, the causation of emotional modification, therefore we single out the emotive-causative categorical complex. The main content of the complex is the actualization of a positive or negative modification of the emotional state of the object of causation, and it is implemented by two categorical semes: emotive seme and cause seme. The category of expressiveness interacts with the category of emotive causatives in speech, therefore, we single out the emotive-expressive-causative categorical semantic subcomplex. When implementing such a subcomplex, the causer has an effect on the object of causation in order to change its emotional state. The result of causation in the situation of emotional modification lies in the meaning of the verb - the emotive causative.

Qualitative Characteristics

In this article, the example of a causative situation actualizing the modification of the emotional state is used to consider semantic variants of expressing the meaning of intensification. The study is conducted from the viewpoint of functional grammar, particularly, semantic categories of intensification, causativeness, emotiveness and their intercategorial interaction. The category of intensification reflects the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the phenomenon which may be accompanied by estimated values. As a result, intensification increase serves to increase the expressive power of the utterance. Thus, in situations with emotive causations, we observe an example of intercategorial interaction of several categories: intensification, evaluation, expressiveness. The purpose of the paper is to identify and systematize adverb intensifiers relating to the expressive means of the language and implementing the function of enhanced influence on the addressee. The object of the analysis are aspects of intercategorial interaction. The focus of the current study are adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. Methods of contextual analysis, definition and synonyms analysis, generalizing and interpretation are used to classify adverbial intensifiers in situations with emotive causatives. It is concluded that the intercategorical interaction of these categories is a tool for purposeful influence on the addressee of the utterance.

The article focuses upon the features of the semantic potential of the emotive causative reizen. Emotive causatives are understood as causative verbs denoting interpersonal interaction resulting in modification of the emotional and psychological state of the subject. There are causatives actualizing positive and negative tone as well as axiological neutral state. The peculiarity of the verb reizen is that it can actualize all the three variants of emotional modification. The research is carried out in the aspect of functional grammar on the example of the semantic categories of causativeness, intensity and instrumentality and the interaction of these three categories. The aim of the article is to consider the cognitive scenario of the emotive causative reizen and expand its semantic potential as a result of intercategory interaction. The object of analysis is the features of the above emotive verb. The focus of our analysis is the semantic potential of this lexeme. Research methods are the following: contextual analysis, generalization and interpretation of the linguistic material...

Methodological Foundation

The article deals with the problems of the theory of functional grammar, which occupy a central place in modern linguistics. Its topicality is determined by the priority tasks of modern syntax, having the purpose to find out a methodological foundation of the study of fundamental semantic categories with a complex formal-content structure, what can be achieved basing on functional approach. The objective is to focus on different views to studying such categories within the framework of functional analysis, and to find the possibility to analyze the means belonging to different language levels in a single system basing on the commonality of their semantic functions. There exist various means of expressing a definite semantic meaning both at the level of a composite sentence, and at the level of a simple sentence. An algorithm for the analysis of complex functional-semantic categories is proposed.

The author considers the problem of conjunctive use of disjunctive conjunctions in the perspective of functional grammar. In the first part of the article, the author verifies the logical approach to conjunctions, especially disjunctive conjunctions. The linguistic meaning of a conjunction is defined as information on the credibility or applicability of a (semantically) compound sentence under condition [10, 01], which means an alternative participation of referents in the described situation. In the following chapters, the author analyzes several language facts, namely sentences that contain a disjunctive relationship and which nevertheless express the general meaning of conjunction. The author explains these phenomena by the fact that in such sentences there are the types of configurations of conjunction with the exponents of other semantic categories: quantification and modality.

The issue of research interest is the question of intercategorical interaction of the functional-semantic category of taxis and “distant” functional-semantic categories of conditionality, causality, concessivity, consecutiveness, instrumentality and finality. The poly-categorical semantic complexes distinguished in functional grammar can be constituted as “close” and “non-close” or “far from each other” functional-semantic categories that have a field structure. The above-mentioned functional-semantic categories or fields are in relation to intercategory inclusion. The phenomenon of intercategorical inclusion is an integrating factor in the constitution of poly-categorical taxis semantic syncret subcomplexes that actualize secondary-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity in statements with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of instrumental, causal, concessive, consecutive, conditional and final semantics. Due to the intercategorical inclusion of the taxis category with "non-close" functional-semantic categories or fields with an adverbial-predicative core, we distinguish such semantic syncret-subcomplexes of simultaneity as: (1) instrumental-taxis; (2) causal taxis; (3) conditional taxis; (3) concessive taxis; (4) consecutive taxis; (5) final taxis. The phenomenon of intercategorical inclusion determines the actualization of various secondary-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity (instrumental-taxis, causal-taxis, concessive-taxis, concessive-taxis, final-taxis), including interconnected polycategorical-taxis situations in semantic representing the above-mentioned taxis semantic syncret subcomplexes.

Abstract. This study measured the effect of emotional states on lexical decision task performance and investigated which underlying components (physiological, attentional orienting, executive, lexical, and/or strategic) are affected. We did this by assessing participants’ performance on a lexical decision task, which they completed before and after an emotional state induction task. The sequence effect, usually produced when participants repeat a task, was significantly smaller in participants who had received one of the three emotion inductions (happiness, sadness, embarrassment) than in control group participants (neutral induction). Using the diffusion model ( Ratcliff, 1978 ) to resolve the data into meaningful parameters that correspond to specific psychological components, we found that emotion induction only modulated the parameter reflecting the physiological and/or attentional orienting components, whereas the executive, lexical, and strategic components were not altered. These results suggest that emotional states have an impact on the low-level mechanisms underlying mental chronometric tasks.

The study determines the associations between self-report of ongoing emotional state and EEG patterns. A group of 31 hospitalized patients were enrolled with three types of diagnosis: major depressive disorder, manic episode of bipolar affective disorder, and nonaffective patients. The Thayer ADACL checklist, which yields two subjective dimensions, was used for the assessment of affective state: Energy Tiredness (ET) and Tension Calmness (TC). Quantitative analysis of EEG was based on EEG spectral power and laterality coefficient (LC). Only the ET scale showed relationships with the laterality coefficient. The high-energy group showed right shift of activity in frontocentral and posterior areas visible in alpha and beta range, respectively. No effect of ET estimation on prefrontal asymmetry was observed. For the TC scale, an estimation of high tension was related to right prefrontal dominance and right posterior activation in beta1 band. Also, decrease of alpha2 power together with increase of beta2 power was observed over the entire scalp.

Abstract. The goal of the study was to explore event-related potential (ERP) differences during the processing of emotional adjectives that were evaluated as congruent or incongruent with the current mood. We hypothesized that the first effects of congruence evaluation would be evidenced during the earliest stages of semantic analysis. Sixty mood adjectives were presented separately for 1,000 ms each during two sessions of mood induction. After each presentation, participants evaluated to what extent the word described their mood. The results pointed to incongruence marking of adjective’s meaning with current mood during early attention orientation and semantic access stages (the P150 component time window). This was followed by enhanced processing of congruent words at later stages. As a secondary goal the study also explored word valence effects and their relation to congruence evaluation. In this regard, no significant effects were observed on the ERPs; however, a negativity bias (enhanced responses to negative adjectives) was noted on the behavioral data (RTs), which could correspond to the small differences traced on the late positive potential.
