Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of lexical resources of speeches of historical figures of the creative work by Titus Livius "History" from the point of view of their emotional and expressive colouring as one of the factors of cognition of the idea of the creative work and means of argumentation. The research confirms the presence of an organic bond between the emotional and the expressive: neutral vocabulary is an important tool in the linguistic style of the text which is deneutralised under the influence of the context and acquires additional emotional and expressive shades. The deneutralisation often occurs as a result of combining of neutral vocabulary with pejorative lexemes or their metaphorisation. Vocabulary with positive shades of emotionality accompanies the high style in speeches. The pejorative vocabulary of speeches is rich and varied in terms of its functionality. Consequently, emotionally expressive means of vocabulary, performing an aesthetic function, serve in the speeches under research as an important means of argumentation, and their research promotes the cognition of idea of the creative work and helps to study the author's idiostyle in detail.
