This paper considers lexical conversion is considered on the material of the KabardinoCircassian language. The necessity to analyze this lexicosemantic category is determined by its crucial role in revealing the interaction patterns of linguistic phenomena that displaying the arrangement of units and their ties on the lexical level. The aim of this study is to examine the emotive aspect of lexical conversion. It was shown that conversives are mainly represented by verbs and verbal phraseological emotives: the verb denoting the inducement of one person to another to the manifestation of a certain emotion is formed with the causative prefix ge, and the verb demonstrating the feelings experienced is affixed with hue, schi, te, irietc. The paper presents the results on how convertive phraseological emotives can pair with verbwords and other phraseological units (singleroot or 136 multiroot). Conversives “in oneself” in emotive vocabulary are possible only if the feelings experienced are reciprocal. For the grammatical expression of such conversives in the KabardinoCircassian language, reciprocal prefixes are often used.
