Abstract

This article examines the underexplored concept of thymiologic modality, which refers to the characterization of an object based on the degree of its significance. This modality is ana­lyzed both as an independent entity and as a component of axiological modality, representing a higher or lower degree of relevance or significance. Thymiologic modality is explored through emotional reactions to perceived information. Surprise and indifference are considered emo­tions that exhibit independent thymiologic modality. Axiological modality is imposed on these emotions, modifying them into admiration and disappointment. The study is based on the analysis of dialogic contexts collected from the Russian National Corpus (RNC). In the exa­mined contexts, the speaker's emotional reaction is conveyed through specific markers of emo­tional expression, such as emotional interjections and communicatives — linguistic units re­gularly used in dialogue.
