Evaluation as a linguistic category in contemporary linguistics

The present article describes evaluation as a contemporary linguistic category. The category of evaluation is considered within the framework of pragmatics, semiotics, and the theory of axiology. It is an important and relevant issue in scientific research works of linguists, philosophers, logicians. The substantiation of axiological approach to the studied linguistic phenomena has been presented. The convergence of anthropocentric, cognitive and functional approaches currently observed in the analysis of language units promotes a complete penetration into the language, connected with the semantics of evaluation.
