Description Language is the primary means of interpersonal communication, and thus an essential means of communication in teaching and learning. Teaching utilises not just a communicative and specialised communicative function of language, affecting the language as a tool of passing on information and interpretation, but also an aesthetic function, especially appropriate in texts, whose aim is to infl uence emotions and develop emotional images in the reader. A teacher also chooses such language means in teaching that may evoke emotional experiences in the pupils and create different ideas associated with them. The language means affecting the emotional perception also include some words derived from the School And Health keywords: healthily, unhealthily, pathologically, sickly. They appear in texts that explain what it means to live a healthy / unhealthy life, what makes someone appear ill or even pathological or in texts, which evaluate a behaviour as healthy, unhealthy, or even pathological.
