Abstract

Onomatopoeia, the use of words that phonetically imitate sounds, plays a significant role in conveying emotion and enhancing the sensory experience in English literature. This article examines the emotive aspects of onomatopoeia, analyzing how this literary device contributes to the expression of emotions, the creation of mood, and the vivid depiction of scenes in literary works. Through a close examination of various genres and authors, this study demonstrates the power of onomatopoeia in evoking emotional responses from readers.
