Abstract
The article is devoted to the large and complex topic of linguistic expression. We are interested specifically in the emotional and expressive potential of pronouns, which do not always play their conventional roles. Almost all catego-ries of pronouns are capable of moving far away from the familiar, uninspired image, expressing and inspiring emotional evaluation. By clearly outlining the side vectors of their functioning, they often become very significant in the emotive-evaluative context. Undoubtedly, their special use or seemingly random presence in speech is clearly connected with pragmatic reasons.

Key words: linguistic expression, emotional evaluation, pronouns, pronominal evaluative groups, markers of empathy, pragmatics
