what is emotive language used for in poems
Emotive Language. Writers use emotive language in order to have a greater emotional impact on their audience. Words can evoke positive emotions, as in: 'Brave gran risks life to save emaciated orphan'.Or the goal can be more negative: 'Abandoned children found in filthy, flea-infested flat'.urther emotive elements include the use of the rhetorical question and intensifiers such as 'really' and 'such'. 'Puppies' is emotive here, because the word has a stronger emotional pull than 'dog'.
