Abstract
Summary. The article focuses on the analysis of the formation stages, research theories of linguistics of emotions. It has been elucidated that linguistics of emotions is formed on the border of different sciences: linguo-philosophy, taking into account semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, linguo-culturology, linguo-conceptology, ethno-linguistics, gender linguistics, etc. It has been highlighted that linguistics of emotions fixates the expression of an ethnic and individual emotionality; it takes into account the auto-interpretation of emotions and feelings, which is manifested in different speech styles or the system of discursive practices. Linguistics of emotions aims at understanding the world of emotions through the language, not simply as the phenomena and facts accumulation, but as the very understanding of these facts and phenomena. As a result of the philosophers’ reflections on the essence of the emotions’ nature two trends were formed: intellectualist (I.F. Herbart) and sensualist . O. Potebnya and W. Wundt were at the origin of psycholinguistics and, accordingly, linguistics of emotions.
