Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to provide a conceptual understanding and develop an author's definition of "verbal means of acting expression." Research methodology. The method of elementary-theoretical analysis was applied, with the help of which the basic regularities and principles of functioning of the terms valid in the scientific dimension and the new term "verbal means of acting expression" were found; the method of generalization, which, as a method of scientific knowledge, contributed to the ascent to the general properties and features of term formation; system method, typological method and method of functional analysis, due to which verbal means of acting expression are considered as a unique complex in the context of creating the image of a stage character. Scientific novelty. The concept of "verbal means of acting expression" is clarified by clarifying its boundaries in relation to such concepts as "linguistic means of expression" and "stage speech", which are usually used in a synonymous verbal means of acting expression in the process of describing the speech features of the character; the specifics of the main verbal means of acting expression are analyzed; the influence of verbal means of acting expression on the realization of the artistic and semantic function of stage work is investigated. Conclusions. The study found that the concept of "verbal means of acting expression" is not identical to the concept of "stage speech", because the expressiveness of stage speech is provided by the use of verbal and nonverbal means of expression. Verbal expressiveness as a part of stage speech is one of the most important qualities of professional acting, which contributes to the successful representation of the character's intentions and the successful disclosure of his image. The actor's definition of the term "verbal means of acting expression" is proposed as: "important components of the semantic integrity of the character image system, which are characterized by unity of artistic content identification and materialization of artistic and aesthetic values of the stage work ". It has been found that the functions of verbal means of acting expression are usually considered to be rather limited (as a direct transfer of the essence of information, content, and meaning of the text), which is explained by their automatic extrapolation from the theory of communication. It is stated that the high language competence of the authors of the literary source of the stage work (writers, playwrights) determines the active participation of verbal means in the production of the emotional language of the character, while the expression of his thoughts and feelings are nonverbal means traditionally used in communication and usually provide the main semantic load. The peculiarity of verbal means of acting expression is that they are able to evoke artistic and aesthetic experiences, awaken the creative imagination of the viewer, performing an artistic and semantic function. The emotional influence of the actor on the viewer in the context of the specifics of verbal means of expression is achieved through intonation and its structural elements - rhythm, melody, tempo, timbre, logical and phrasal emphasis.
