This article's research object is implicit evaluative semantics in literary texts based on Henry James's novels "The Wings of the Dove" and "Dubliners." The purpose of the analysis is to identify ways of expressing implicit evaluation and consider the evaluation situation's structural components in their adaptation to the author-reader communicative system. Among the methods used, the following stand out: text analysis, comparative-descriptive method of analyzing expression plans and content plans, and structural-component analysis of axiological meaning. Authors consider the cognitive activity of the subject of evaluation as a theoretical justification for the emergence of implicit content, along with the asymmetry of the linguistic sign. As a result of the analysis, the authors conclude that the relationship between explicitness and implicitness in the semantics of evaluation and the regularity of verbalization of its structural elements depends on the type of communicative activity. The authors confirm that implicit evaluation belongs to the connotative area of meaning. Among the methods of implicit expression of evaluation, the authors highlight the technique of stylistic repetition, the selection of vocabulary that gives rise to the phenomena of enantiosemy and stylistic dissonance, and the creation of images.
