DIPLASTY OF LANGUAGE CATEGORIZATION OF MIXED EMOTIONS

The article deals with the cognitive complexity of language categorization of emotional experiences on the example of mixed emotions. Using the concept of diplasty, which is a combination of opposite stimuli that destabilize human activity, it is shown that the explication of mixed emotions corresponds to the paradigm of complexity, the key elements of which are integrity, inconsistency, and non-linearity. The complexity paradigm presupposes the existence of a simplicity paradigm, which is a language system that has predetermined conventional means of expressing emotions in language and speech. By their cognitive complexity, mixed emotions introduce an element of instability and thus expand the potency of the system, transform it, and enlarge it. Mixed emotions, in which several types are inventoried (mono-, ambi-, and polyvalent), consist of a conscious or cognitive component and an actual emotional component that is directly experienced. The latter is defined in accordance with the methods of expressing the actual division of the sentence, when such components as the theme, the transition of Rema and Rema are distinguished within a syntactically linear explication of a mixed emotion, which correspond to the concept of informative significance. In this case, the Rema can be divided into sub-remas, the number of which is potentially unlimited. Taking into account the analysis of factual material from fiction and the results of the survey, it is proved that the dominant of mixed emotions for the speaker is not one of its components, but a complete indeterminate (mixed) emotional experience. At the same time, a relatively more active emotional experience forms the emotional dominant of the mixed emotion, regardless of whether this nomination is located in the prepositive or postpositive part of the lexical explication of the mixed emotion.
