Affectivity and language arrangements

Abstract

This paper provides an update on the relationship between the study of affectivity in language and the study of linguistic modalities. In the first part of the paper, I report on the different ways in which affectivity has been approached in Linguistics. In the second part, I discuss how affectivity is involved in the study of modalities, with a particular focus on the appreciative and axiological values. As counterpoints to those put forward by Gosselin (2010), I argue three theoretical propositions: (i) appreciation and axiology are judgements, without affectivity necessarily being modal; (ii) their respective functions are understood from another modal category; (iii) they tend to produce a semantic blurring in modal statements. Finally, in the third part, I mention two cases of axiological value analysis, drawing some epistemological statements.
