Abstract
In the article, based on “The Confessions” by Aurelius Augustine, the author observes peculiarities of the evaluative category expression on morphological level – prefixation. Defining two groups of prefixes we described their meanings and examples referring to the concept “good” / “bad”. It has been emphasized that the primary role determining the content plays the context.
