ON THE ISSUE OF EVALUATION FUNCTION ONTOLOGY OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Evaluation is considered as the ontological characteristics of a person. The relevance of research is due to the increased scientists’ interest in the study of the category of evaluation. Evaluation is one of the most important linguistic categories and is recognized as the main way to reflect the value system of a person in the language. Evaluation is considered as a universal category of a text. We analyze the types of the evaluation category: emotional, intellectual, emotional and intellectual. Evaluation is a specific systemic affective-cognitive, evaluative-self-evaluating mental category that performs an important function of human consciousness, regulating the behavior and activities of the individual. The main characteristics of human evaluating activity are considered by a complex research method. Prototypes of adaptive behavior of the individual are analyzed. The influence of adaptive stimuli on emotional and behavioral reactions based on the activity approach is substantiated. The functions of evaluative statements are presented. The identification of evaluative component in lexical units is carried out on the basis of “good” or “bad” semes, since the positive or negative meaning of these semes is beyond doubt. Evaluation can be expressed in denotative and connotative meanings; it also may appear occasionally, i. e. under the influence of context or background knowledge. Due to the context, lexical units that do not have any evaluative semantic features can become such words and change the sign to the opposite depending on the situation, and these judgments are always anthropocentric.
