Lexical Means of Expressiveness in the Speech of a German Teacher

Abstract

The article substantiates the importance of using lexical expressive means in the speech of a German language teacher. The authors identify several groups of lexical means of creating expressiveness within the framework of interaction between teacher and student. A number of lexical means of expressiveness are clichéd in nature, which reduces their emotive potential. Metaphors, epithets and irony have a high degree of expressiveness in pedagogical discourse.
