意味（1）

(linguistics) Any word or phrase that expresses (that the speaker, writer, or signer has) a certain attitude toward or information about the referent.

Consider the case of expressives, where no prior knowledge of the speaker’s attitudes are required to interpret the utterance. In (43) [That jerk Alexa keeps making me look bad], Steve does not need to know (and in fact has no prior knowledge of) anything relating to Siri’s attitudes towards Alexa to interpret that Siri has a negative attitude about Alexa. It is the expressive that jerk that implies the negative attitude.

意味（2）

(linguistics, more narrowly) A word or phrase, belonging to a distinct word class or having distinct morphosyntactic properties, with semantic symbolism (for example, an onomatopoeia), variously considered either a synonym, a hypernym or a hyponym of ideophone.

Cross-linguistically 'expressives' are more commonly termed 'ideophones' … Expressives are often cited as a distinctive shared feature of the Austroasiatic language family (Diffloth and Zide 1992; Osada 1992 (Mundari); Svantesson 1983 (Kammu)). … I do not make a distinction between expressives and ideophones. … I distinguish expressives from onomatopoeic forms, although the two probably overlap.
