THE EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS IN WOMEN’S SPEECH
Abstract
This article examines the ways emotions are expressed in women’s speech from linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. The study focuses on lexical, syntactic, intonational, and paralinguistic means used by women to convey emotional states. Special attention is paid to the emotional richness of women’s speech and its differences from men’s speech. The analysis shows that women tend to express emotions more openly and vividly through language, which is influenced by psychological, social, and cultural factors. [1]
