Abstract: As exemplified by a causative situation which realises the mode of an emotional state, the author makes an attempt to present semantic variations of the category of causation in its emotional mode. The paper aims at determining semantic variations of a causative situation of an emotional mode and systematising them. The object of the research is the peculiarities of functioning of Russian emotive verbs of interpersonal semantics. The subject of the analysis is their functional potential. The data of the research were Russian verbs taken from Russian collocation and defining dictionaries. The research methods comprised a hypothetical-deductive method and contextual analysis. As a result of the analysis, five semantic variations of a causational situation of an emotional mode were determined. They are realised by causative verbs of perception, psychophysical sensations, mental state, understanding of an attitute to others, intuitive understanding of a situation
