Select one:
Expressive

Emotive

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Language which excites feeling, for the most part by communicating the speaker's or essayist's endorsement or objection to an individual, a gathering of individuals or an action.

The standard feelings stirred by such language are scorn or solid endorsement, more frequently the previous than the last mentioned.

For example, somebody who opposes the death penalty may portray it as 'murder'.

This would be talk, planned to influence others of the repulsiveness of legal murdering, or if nothing else to strengthen their solid emotions against it.
