Abstract

The article focuses on one model of actualizing the value system in modern English which is used for saying what the most basic or important aspect of a particular job, activity or relationship is. The model is a way to express the speaker’s notion of universal values — vital, moral, social, political etc. It serves as a rhetoric device to attract the addressee’s attention and convince him of the speaker’s viewpoint.
