Keywords:

Abstract
The aim of the research is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role and functioning of verbal means of expressing emotional tension in journalistic texts. Methods. The research involves such methods as comparative analysis, transformational analysis, contextual analysis, pragma-semantic analysis. Statistical processing and validation of the obtained data was carried out using Cronbach’s alpha and mean square. Results. The results of the study helped to identify the linguistic features of expressing states of emotional tension. A total of 272 interjections that reflect emotional stress were found in the studied corpus. In general, 589 contexts of the use of modal words, which have the colouring of emotional tension, were also analysed. Conclusions. The study found that emotional stress in journalistic texts is strongly dependent on the context in which it is used. Understanding emotional expressions requires taking into account the sociocultural context, the goals of communication, and the relationship between communicators. Prospects. Further research can expand the scope and diversity of the corpus of journalistic texts, which will enable obtaining more representative results. Adding different genres, time periods, and authors will give a more complete picture of the verbal means of expressing emotional tension.
