Semantic structure of a word (I.V. Arnold)
Ffff
The emotive component (usual or occasional) of the connotative meaning of a word is its capacity to evoke or directly express emotions. It is called emotive charge, emotive connotation or colouring: Oh! Why! Hell! Here she is, poor little lamb, with her bags all packed. (M.Dickens). “She was a thin, frail little thing, and her hair which was delicate and thin was bobbed”. (D.) I feel so darned lonely. (Gr.Green).: I have much time.
