Abstract

The paper deals with the language objectivation of emotional constructs, complex mental phenomena reflecting the interception of emotions and thinking in human activity. It also states the foundations of the theory of objectivation and explains some of its basic terms. Objectivation is interpreted here as a process of putting abstract mental phenomena into the real language items.

Keywords

objectivation, construct, conceptual integration, emotional construct.
