Abstract

This article examines the grammatical and stylistic means used to express emotions in language. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which grammatical structures, sentence patterns, interjections, repetitions, rhetorical questions, exclamatory constructions, and other stylistic devices contribute to the expression of emotional states. The study demonstrates that emotions are conveyed not only through emotionally marked lexical units but also through the grammatical organization and stylistic structure of utterances. The analysis focuses on the functional role of these means in expressing such emotions as joy, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and admiration. The findings indicate that grammatical and stylistic devices strengthen emotional meaning and allow speakers to communicate different degrees of emotional intensity.
