This article is devoted to the definition of the concept of language means of expressing assessment (positive — negative, tolerant — intolerant) and the description of lexical units expressing assessment in the modern text. The importance of the study is determined by the fact that communicants should competently use the language means of assessment in speech to achieve mutual understanding. The author selected and analyzed lexical units, allowing the communicant to express a positive or negative assessment in the process of speech interaction. These lexical units were analyzed based on materials from various linguistic dictionaries; according to the results of the survey; based on the materials of the National Corps of the Russian Language.As a result, changes in the assessment of a number of lexical units were identified, as well as some factors that affect these changes were identified.
