V. The grouping of meanings is different from a group of notions.

The complexity of each word meaning is due to the fact that it combines lexical meaning with lexico-grammatical meaning, and with emotional colouring, stylistic peculiarities and connotations.

IV. The complexity of the notion is determined by the relationships of the extra-linguistic reality reflected in human consciousness.

Pronouns possess the demonstrative function and no significative function (point out the object and its relation to the speaker).

II. Notions are always emotionally neutral as they are a category of thought.

The meaning conveys:

· some reflection of objective reality,

· the speaker’s state of mind,

· his attitude to what he is speaking about.
