Abstract

Emotiveness in texts reflects the speaker’s or writer’s emotional stance, attitudes, and intentions. In the English language, emotiveness is realized through a combination of lexical, grammatical, phonetic, semantic, and pragmatic components. Each of these components contributes to creating an emotional effect that influences the reader or listener. This article examines these components in detail, providing examples and discussing their interaction. Understanding these features is crucial for linguistic analysis, stylistics, effective communication, and language learning.
