Realization of the Category of Expressivity in Communicative Situations

The semantic category of expressivity serves to express additional notional shades of meaning. We divide the language means of the expressivity category into those of lexical and syntactical. We analyze the realization of expressive means in 5 communicative situations: communication between friends, communication between birth relatives, communication between colleagues, communication between an employer and an employee, communication between a lawyer and a witness. The analysis of these situations proves that realization and distribution of the expressive language means inside the situations are basically determined by the situational variables as well as the social roles of the speaker and the listener.
