Phraseological units contain referential, denotational, connotational sememes. Expressiveness and emotiveness which are often accompanied by evaluation are constituents of connotational meaning. Phraseological units can be of two types – of neutral evaluation and of emotive evaluation.

While the element of evaluation in emotive phrases can be explicit, the emotive-evaluative meaning of expressive phraseologisms is inherent and can be realized only in the context. https://journals.ysu.am/index.php/arm-fol-angl/article/view/4817
