of the adjective <i>radostny</i> (English – <i>joyful</i>) in terms of conceptualisation of emotions.
The paper includes the comparison of its dictionary definitions, etymological data
and interpretation in terms of emotional evaluation. Special attention is paid to the
processes of conceptualisation of emotional evaluation by means of the extension of
the adjective denotation sphere, denotative shift from perceptible objects to invisible
objects, from form to content. As a result, the adjective <i>radostny</i> receives intellectual
and aesthetic shades of meaning. The denotative shift referring to negative denotation
modifies the dominant category feature – a positive evaluation component. It leads to
the weakening and neutralization of the positive evaluation. The analysis of use, as
applied to the examples in the Russian National Corpus, verifies the basic characteristics of emotional evaluation (subjectivity and uncertainty) and helps to identify its
important characteristics (communicativeness, efficiency, attractiveness). The study
takes into account the forms of objectification of <i>radostny</i> evaluation, time factor and
typical genres.
