THE MEANING PARADIGM OF THE ENGLISH EVALUATION VERBS APPRAISE, EVALUATE, ESTIMATE, RATE (BASED ON LINGUISTIC EXPERIMENT) (RETRACTED 26.03.2018)
The article presents the results of the experiment on the evaluation verbs appraise, evaluate, estimate and rate within the frame of their paradigmatic relations. Method of component analysis helps to determine the meaning elements of the given verbs. The research is conducted with the help of the native speakers. It is discovered that appraise and evaluate have integral semes and can be interchanged in the text, since both of them are the verbs of detailed estimation and professional estimation. Evaluate, therefore, is the most frequently used in the language and is the most neutral among the given verbs and can be called the dominant verb of the group.
Keywords: semantics, paradigmatic relations, evaluation verbs, component analysis, cognitive science
