Phonetic expressive means and stylistic devices are integral components of language that enhance the auditory and rhythmic qualities of communication. These tools, which include alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, rhyme, rhythm, and intonation, play a crucial role in shaping the emotional and aesthetic impact of both written and spoken discourse. By analyzing examples from poetry, prose, public speaking, and everyday language, this article explores how phonetic devices contribute to creating mood, emphasizing meaning, and engaging audiences. The discussion underscores the importance of understanding these techniques for effective communication, creative expression, and linguistic analysis. Ultimately, phonetic expressive means serve as a bridge between sound and sense, enriching the communicative power of language.
