RESUMO

Expressive words are marks of cultural identity as they differ among people. They are conventional in each linguistic community and therefore need to be considered in the context of teaching/learning of a second language for foreigners as they constitute important elements of communication. This paper presents, analyses and classifies according to stylistic and functional criteria the contextual use of a set of onomatopoeic and non-onomatopoeic expressive words observed in the daily informal speech of the Rio-São Paulo axis within the period between August, 2003 and May, 2006. From the occurrences that constitute the corpus described in the paper, one can notice a wide range of functional and semantic variation of expressive words reflecting the ability of Brazilian people to cope with context in a high level of abstraction. One can also observe that these words reveal uncountable aspects of the Brazilian subjective culture.
