This article aims at a description of the pragmatic semantics of voca- bulary items (within the contemporary theory of pragmatics based on the works of A. Wierzbicka, L. A. Vygotsky, L. A. Kiseleva, V. N. Telija, etc). We argue the great importance of including emotional evaluative semantics in a lexicographic description.The material used in the investigation is the stock vocabulary in The living speech of Kola Peninsula dialects, edited by I. S. Merkur'ev.Special attention is paid to the structure of emotional evaluative voca- bulary, which can be characterized by certain emotional evaluative mar- kers, combining expressive (connotative) and descriptive semantics. The application of these separated markers (criteria) provides an opportunity to distinguish between certain types of emotional evaluation, and sort out different groups of lexical items, the primary semantics of which refer to certain images of mentality and define secondary emotional evaluations in pejorative and meliorative aspects.The author shows that there exists a clear and obvious connection between cultural and mythological stereotypes, on the one hand, and an ability to express emotional evaluation by special meanings of items, on the other. This is supported by a number of examples and commentaries containing additional pragmatic and semantic analysis.The author assumes that an increased tendency to develop proper evaluative semantics is characteristic of the formation and usage of the vocabulary of these dialects.
