Emotıonal deıxıs and ıts verbal expressıon

Abstract

One of the most interesting aspects in the study of linguistics is the concept of deixis, not only because of its recurring manifestation but also because of its importance for effective communication. The objective of this research is to analyze the development of emotional deixis to determine different forms of its expression. The main methods used in the research were document analysis, hypothetical-deductive and analytic-synthetic. The research shows the peculiarities of emotional deixis, being a metaphorical development of deictic forms that express the emotional and psychological distance and closeness between the speaker and the referent. The role of this type of deixis for communication is analyzed and the various characteristics of its means of expression are systematically revealed and studied on the basis of specific linguistic material. The results are discussed with relevant literature and recommendations are provided for future research and practice. It is relevant to highlight that, from the point of view of emotional deixis, the study of emotionality at the level of speech opens wide horizons for a more in-depth study of different problems.
