LANGUAGE MEANS OF EXPRESSING EMOTIONS IN UKRAINIAN WOMEN’S TRAVEL PROSE

Abstract

In the paper, travel prose by contemporary Ukrainian female writers I. Rozdobudko, I. Karpa, A. Yaremenko, and L. Voronyna is considered. The means of emotionalism have been singled out and analyzed at the lexical and syntactic levels. At the lexical level emotions are named explicitly. Also there are words whose emotional content refers to the connotative component of the meaning. At the syntactic level the most common representants of emotions are exclamation
sentences and rhetorical questions. It is shown that emotionalism can also be part of organization of the whole text when it is embodied in a repeating intertextual means.
