Abstract

This article investigates the characteristics of the use of the English language in expressing emotions in a text of British Prime Ministers D. Cameron, T. May, B. Johnson, and M. Truss's first speeches. The study is important because emotiveness in political discourse is important because it allows politicians to elicit the desired emotional response from the audience and, to some extent, manipulate their consciousness. The paper investigates the most common approaches to developing emotional impact on the audience. The study also seeks to distinguish between concepts such as emotiveness and emotionality using numerous examples of various linguistic components used to verbalize emotiveness in political discourse.
