Abstract
Assessment holds a significant position in contemporary linguistic research. Nevertheless, the assessment category has not yet been specifically studied in the context of Khakass language paremic expressions. This study categorizes the different forms of assessment found in Khakass proverbs and sayings. A range of sources was used, including a collection of Khakass proverbs, sayings, a Khakass-Russian dictionary, folklore, and artistic texts. The analysis has demonstrated a substantial prevalence of proverbs and sayings carrying evaluative meanings of a private nature, encompassing ethical, aesthetic, mental-psychological, teleological, and utilitarian evaluations. Assessment is expressed as a desire for a certain norm, a pattern of behavior. By means of private assessments, a selection is made between concepts of good and evil, morality and immorality, and the like. Understanding the evaluative semantics of proverbs and sayings in the Khakass language contributes to a deeper understanding of the national characteristics of the ethnic group. The ethical negative assessment is predominantly conveyed in the proverbial fund of the Khakass language, taking the form of moral teachings and prohibitions. The distinctive characteristics of aesthetic assessment involve drawing figurative parallels between the beauty of a Khakass woman and the sun and the moon and recognizing the beauty of a man through his moral resilience. The assessments found in the Khakass paremiological fund encompass both universal and ethnocultural values that depict the Khakass worldview. The investigation of Khakass paremiology presents further opportunities to uncover the characteristics of normative meanings and their overall evaluative connotations.
