Summary/Abstract: Given that the main feature of the affirmation is an assertion which is the basis of most speech acts, that is why we aim to determine the scope of an affirmation explication separately from the negation. The goal involves the following tasks: to establish a nuclear, sub-nuclear, intermediate, peripheral and outmost peripheral zones of functional-style implementation of affirmative meaning. The object of the study is multilevel linguistic means as explicitors of the affirmation category. The materials used for the analysis are represented by the compositions of Ukrainian writers of the early 21st century. Functional approach with component and transformational analysis has been used to streamline the corpus of affirmative verbalization in fiction. The prospect for further research is a detailed representation of main common and distinct features of function-semantic affirmation category in Ukrainian and English languages.
