Abstract:

This book presents new issues in the study of the interface of emotions and
language, and their use in social context. Two fundamental questions are
tackled: the way different languages encode emotional information and the core
role emotions play in languages’ structure, use and learning. Seldom treated
means of expressing emotions (such as interjections, conditionals, scalarity,
allocentric constructions), the social and professional impact of emotions and
the latest developments in the interface of speech recognition / emotions are
some of the key contributions to this volume. The cross-cultural perspective
contrasts new couples of languages (among which Australian aboriginal
languages, Cypriot Greek, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, Russian) and addresses
sociolinguistic, pragmatic and discursive issues. Most of the papers attempt
interesting theoretical articulations that aim at a better understanding of
the linguistic and sociolinguistic nature of emotions. This book will be
highly relevant for students and researchers interested in emotions,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, as well as prosody and philosophy
of language.
