Emotive Language

Emotive language is language (in particular adjectives or adverbs) that relate to or refer to emotions:
Drink Coca-Cola, you'll like it.
I am very happy that you decided to come.
The bike was very tired and sad-looking.
The bike was bright and cheerful-looking.
The girl was skipping joyfully.
Composers use emotive language to create empathy. Empathy is when a person can understand the emotions of another 'to put yourself in another's shoes', so to speak.
