Description:
Providing an up-to-date, multi-perspective and cross-linguistic account of the centrality of emotion in communication, this book explores both the conceptual architecture of emotions as reflected in language, and the high emotional ‘temperature’ of a variety of contemporary discourses.Looking at emotion through the essentially dual lens of language, the book presents how language shapes communicative and cognitive processes but at the same time is also shaped by those processes. The chapters put forward a number of disciplinary and methodological perspectives encompassing insights from cognitive and social psychology, (critical) discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics. Both intralingual as well as contrastive, each chapter also engages with qualitative and quantitative methods.Using a wide variety of data types, from song lyrics and TV shows through to Twitter posts and political speeches, and a range of languages, including Arabic, English, Polish, Italian, Hungarian, and Turkish, this book offers a panoramic view of the multi-faceted interaction between language, emotion and cognition.
