In the article connotations have been discussed which enable the speaker to perform an evaluative act. Within the classifications of evaluative connotations presented in the literature of the subject there is a distinction between connotations which are confirmed by language facts (like semantic and morphological derivatives and idiomatic expressions) and those which do not possess such a confirmation, i.e. extralinguistic ones. On the basis of material collected from press articles a differentiation existing within the second group has been depicted. The connotations that have been singled out are those based on the specifically environmental evaluative stereotypes, those based on stereotypes of a more common type that accompany words which may almost be treated by language users as containing obligatorily an evaluative component and finally connotations which became active and are possible to be interpreted only in the right context.
