LINGUISTIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING EMOTIONALITY IN ENGLISH AND JAPANESE

Abstract

This study explores the linguistic means employed in English and Japanese for expressing emotionality. Emotion plays a significant role in human communication, influencing language choice, tone, and expression. By examining linguistic features such as vocabulary, syntax, and cultural nuances, we aim to uncover the similarities and differences in how emotion is conveyed in these two languages. Through a comparative analysis with examples, this research sheds light on the intricate ways in which speakers of English and Japanese articulate and perceive emotions.
