Emotions you do not want to part with, or willfulness/randomness of emotional memory

Abstract

Relevance of the problem is in the study of the conditions leading to the reproduction of memory traces of emotional, since emotions motivate all kinds of human activity, including communication. Emotional memory and memory of emotional can both regulate a person’s communicative behavior, influencing decisions being made. That is why no less attention should be paid to emotional traces reproduced in memory, comparing them with actual emotions, experienced in certain communicative situations. The aim is the study of emotional memory triggers willfulness-randomness. On the example of belletristic communicative emotional situations emotions that a person wants to keep in the memory for a longer time and emotions that are to be forgotten are discussed. Linguistics of emotions pays equal attention to both types. Method of emotive analysis developed by this science serves to be a key to exploring them. Through analyzing positive and negative emotives, transferring emotional memories, is verified a thesis of emotive linguistics about the interconnection of emotions, memories and situations. It is also demonstrated how emotional memory can modify subjective life perception and evaluation.
