Add your own review!

Overview

This volume presents theories of the langauge of emotions from very different perspectives, encompassing studies by scholars from diverse disciplines, such as linguistics, sociology and psychology. Topics include: theoretical issues in the analysis of emotions; the conceptualization of emotions in specific cultures; developmental approaches showing that the acquisition of the language of emotions is a social achievement that simultaneously determines our experience of these emotions; and an analysis of how emotions are referred to and expressed in discourse.
