Expressivity is a category in natural languages that concerns the direct expression of emotions and attitudes (in contrast to their description). Expressive meaning can be conveyed at all linguistic level: by lexical expressions, special syntactic constructions, intonation or on the pragmatic level by expressive speech acts.
This page collects information about linguistic research carried out at Ruhr University Bochum – including publications and events like worksshops – and relevant news on expressivity research in general.
