LEXICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE EMOTIONS OF SWEDISH QUEEN CHRISTINA BY NINA BLAZON

Abstract

In this paper we threw light upon the concept of emotional phenomena, clarified the definition of “emotions”, reconstructed the emotional sphere and emotional experience of Swedish Queen Christina, outlined the corpus of lexical units of the Queen’s emotions through the prism of the morphological criterion and systematized thematically. The relationship between the development of the Queen’s emotions, wartime, spiritual crisis in the family circle and court behav- ior is traced. Emphasis is placed on the dominance of emotional patterns in the semantic structure of emotional experience, natural and artificial expressions of emotions by the Queen are identified. The most relevant emotional patterns include sadness — joy, joy — cunning, fear — hope, hope — faith, anger — disappointment — calm. It is established that the emotional experience of the “elite” layer affects the negation of the Queen’s individual emotions (pride, ad- miration), their identification, form and content. The expression of the Queen’s emotions is also connected with the internal and external politics of Sweden in the 17th century, the rules and norms of royal etiquette, which led to the elevation of Queen Christina to the status of a goddess. The juxtaposition of natural phe- nomena and emotions affected the hierarchy, signs of modality, gradation, se- mantics, negation, linguistics of emotions. The presence of a value system in the strata of the Swedish population allows predicting and simulating the influence of emotions on the behavior of the queen and, conversely, on the behavior of sub- ordinates. The differentiation of emotional phenomena contributed to the birth of lexical and grammatical names. Two main partial language categories are distinguished: full and incomplete. The full-meaning part-speech category in- cludes: verb, noun, adjective, adverb, pronoun, the incomplete part-speech cat- egory includes emotional exclamations and emotional particles. The adjective often undergoes functional reorientation and functions as an adverb in speech.
