Abstract. The article examines the lexical units representing evaluation as dichotomy and relations between its components as realization of the law of unity and struggle of opposites. Scientific originality of the paper involves analysing interrelation of evaluation and dichotomy by the material of the English-language articles on the British monarchy. The paper aims to study semantics and combinatorics of lexical evaluative means. The conclusion is made that the wide use of lexical evaluative means indicates authors’ intention to strengthen manipulative influence, to attract the addressee’s attention and to influence their attitudes.
Key words and phrases: категория оценки, дихотомия, антонимия, британская монархия, эксплицитная оценка, имплицитная оценка, category of evaluation, dichotomy, antonymy, British monarchy, explicit evaluation, implicit evaluation
