Abstract

The article deals with the consideration of different approaches to the study of expressive English discourse, its linguo-stylistic peculiarities. The article presents the views of somelinguists on existing varieties of discourse and identifies the place of expressive discourse among them. In general, discourse is a written or spoken verbal product of a communicative event. Linguists distinguish many different types of discourse, taking into account extralinguistic factors: sociocultural, pragmatic, psychological, etc. In the existing classifications of the typology of discourse the expressive component is indicated, which allows to distinguish a separate kind of discourse – expressive. According to one of the typologies of discourse, there is an expressive type of communicative acts, which is connected with the expression of different feelings, moods, thoughts. According to another classification, an affiliative type of discourse is singled out, which includes the expressive type of speech acts. When investigating expressive discourse, it is necessary to take into account the notion of the expression itself, as well as the notions of expressiveness and emotionality must be distinguished. In scientists’ opinion, the emotional in language is needed for the expression of feelings, and the expressive – for enhancing expressiveness and imagery. The relevance of the study of expressive discourse lies in the need to identify the mechanisms for creating expressive effect.
