Morphological expressive means are, for example, The Historical Present;
the use of shall in the second and third person; the use of some
demonstrative pronouns with 6 an emphatic meaning as those, them some
cases of nominalization, particularly when conversion of verbal stems is
alien to the meaning of the verbs or the nominalization of phrases and
sentences and a number of their morphological forms, which acquire
expressiveness in the context.

To syntactic expressive means belong emphatic
syntactic constructions. Such constructions stand in
opposition to their neutral equivalents. The neutral
sentence John went away may be replaced by the
following expressive variants

• Away went John
