    Emotive Language

    Uploaded by

    Max Marcus
    Emotive language uses words that are deliberately chosen to evoke an emotional response in the reader. It is commonly found in poetry where language is most condensed. While emotive language has its place, its use in academic writing can obscure the core message and facts. When reporting news, mass media needs to use accessible language so it can inform a wide audience. Examples of emotive language in newspapers include using terms like "horrific" or "heroic" rather than plain descriptions.
