The present paper refers to the structural and semantic-pragmatic aspects of emphatic constructions in English and Armenian. The paper gives a structural analysis of constructions with emphatic reflexive pronouns in English and their Armenian counterparts with pointing out the similarities and differences preconditioned by the specificity of the morphological and the syntactic structure of the related languages. Much attention is devoted to the analyses of semantic and pragmatic aspects of the constructions under study. The paper focuses on some differences in the use of English emphatic constructions.
