  Introduction
  
  Modern people live in a new informational century where mass media plays one of the most important roles. Not long ago the main task of printed media texts was to give urgent information. But today it is known that mass media takes part in the creation of public opinion, in people’s mind control, in propaganda and advertisement. Accordingly, expressiveness as a linguistic category plays a great role in printed media texts. The usage of different expressive means helps to obtain a result: to express own opinion, to show feelings and emotions, to influence recipients’ thoughts.
  Many stylistic devices in modern printed media texts fulfill an expressive function. We can say just the same about repetition. On the one hand, repetition as a stylistic device is fully investigated in scientific literature. On the other hand, this notion is quite manifold and diversified. Consequently, scientists pass different opinions according to this stylistic means. Repetition can be found on all language levels. Repetition can merge with other stylistic devices in order to fulfill an expressive function. Thus, the topicality of the present research consists in the popularity of repetition as an expressive stylistic device in printed media texts and in the absence of the unique opinion concerning the essence of repetition.
  The topicality of the research defines the aim and the tasks of the present work.
  The aim of the investigation is the analysis of repetition in printed media texts and its expressive function.
  The tasks of the research are the following:

  Chapter 1. Repetition as an Expressive Stylistic Device in Mass Media
  1.1. Category of expressiveness in linguistics
  
  Expressivity is a category of stylistics, linguistic, study of literature and art which includes the links of formal, semantic and functional units. Expressiveness reflects purposeful subjective, emotional and aesthetic relations of a speaker towards the interlocutor. It performs the function of influencing and serves as a means of emphasis of an utterance in the course of communication. This category has a complex link with the categories of emotionality, figurativeness, stylistic coloring and esthetics.
  Expressiveness is a language category which exists in every sphere of human activity. Language is considered to be a mode which helps people to act, communicate, express their thoughts and feelings, make an impact on other people [30, p. 120].
  Expressiveness is one of the main categories of a language, because it is one of its functions. It is known that the main functions of the language are descriptive function, social function and expressive function.
  Descriptive function is evident for every representative of the language. But the distinction of social and expressive functions is not so clear and sometimes very difficult to specify. Consequently, various emotive interpersonal meanings are always associated both with social and expressive function of a language.
  It was believed for a long period of time that description is the one and the unique function of language. Linguists used to think that every grammatically correct sentence is a descriptive one, whether it is real or false. But in the course of the present research we can state that despite of its essence, description is not the unique task solved with the help of language.
  Expressive function of language allows speaking about the existence of the expressive power of language. Expressive power of language can be understood as its ability to convey different meanings in one and the same language unit.
