Abstract

Researchers' focus shifted to the issue of the human factor in language within the framework of the anthropocentric paradigm in linguistics. Emotions are a central component of human existence; emotions help us make sense of the world and respond to it. This is why linguists are interested in the study of emotions. As a field at the nexus of linguistics and psychology, emotiology examines the relationship between language and emotions; specifically, it examines how emotive vocabulary functions. Because there is no unified methodology in this field of science and the emotive semantics of lexical units have a complex and uncertain structure, research in this area is not exhaustive. This paper looks at how English language literature portrays the characters' emotional states in I.S. Turgenev's novel "The Noble Nest." It also attempts to study adjectival emotive words typologically in context, considering how closely related they are to the concepts that are defined. Emotive adjectives can describe the experiences of characters through descriptions of nature or external expressions of emotions. The adjective verbalization of emotions in the novel under study is represented by a variety of lexemes with diverse semantics.
