Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of stylistic means of expressing emotionality in political discourse. Five speeches of US presidents B. Obama and G. Bush-junior were taken as the material of investigation. The results showed that in speeches of both ex-presidents most frequently used stylistic devices are alliteration, metaphor, epithet, antithesis and anaphora. Except these stylistic devices in B. Obama’s speeches allusions epiphora, hyperbola and oxymoron are used.
