COMPONENTS OF TEXT EMOTIVENESS: A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Text emotiveness refers to the expressive qualities of language that evoke or convey emotional states. This paper explores the key components that contribute to emotiveness in written texts from a linguistic perspective. These components include lexical choices, evaluative language, expressive syntax and punctuation, figurative language, emotive particles and modality, contextual and pragmatic cues, and prosodic features in written form. Understanding these elements enhances our comprehension of how texts influence readers emotionally, which has applications in linguistics, literary analysis, psychology, and computational language processing (Jakobson, 1960; Wierzbicka, 1999).
