Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the analysis of emotional expressions of blood kinship terms. The kinship terminology system is not always applied only to family members. Its application often goes beyond the scope of family relations thus denoting socio-cultural, economical, political, ethnic and other relations. The paper aims at showing how kinship terms are used as a strategy of evoking feelings in the interlocutor in combination with other linguistic means.
