<div dir="ltr">In Yahgan, a recently extinct genetic isolate from Tierra del Fuego, which I've studied for a quarter century, the only grammaticalized emotion marker I'm aware of was kush (sh as in English), which is the regular present tense form of kuru: (colon marks the tenseness of the vowel preceding it), meaning 'like, want, desire'. It is placed after the first word in the sentence (which is usually the subject). For example hai kush sa atu:pai apvmuta 'I want you to take the fish' where hai is the 1st sg emphatic pn subject, sa the 2nd sg object, ata 'take' -u:pai verbal suffix 'to' (grammaticalized a infinitive), apvmuhr 'fish', where apvmut- is the combining form (hr represents a kind of voiceless apical trill, v is schwa), and -a is 'a/the' (nonspecific/generic) apvmuhr is ambivalent as to number, and takes no case marking because it is low animacy.<div><br></div><div>Jess Tauber</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 6, 2023 at 4:03 AM Bastian Persohn <<a href="mailto:persohn.linguistics@gmail.com">persohn.linguistics@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Dear Ponrawee,<div><br></div><div>You might be interested in apprehensional epistemics, which express a negative subjective stance towards a possibility, and which are sometimes described as ‚fear‘ markers.</div><div><br></div><div>Some references, with no claim as to their comprehensiveness:</div><div>

I am interested in both markers of 1) the <i>speaker</i>'s emotional states toward the situation being expressed as well as 2) of the <i>subject</i>'s emotional states toward the situation.
The class of the item could be bound (clitics, affixes) or free (particles, auxiliary verbs) as long as it could be shown to be (somewhat) closed. I am only interested in markers specialised for specific emotions, and not, e.g., impoliteness markers that could be used when the speaker is angry.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The "(un)happy about the verb" infixes <i>-ei</i>- and -<i>äng-</i> from the constructed language Na'vi would be the paradigm example of what I am looking for if they actually existed in a natural language.</div><div><br></div><div>
A potential example is Japanese <i>-yagatte, </i>which some have told me
have grammaticalised into an affix encoding anger about the action. I'm also looking
into whether there is evidence that this is actually part of a closed-class and would appreciate any
pointers/more information.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much in advance.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Ponrawee Prasertsom</div><div><br></div><div>PhD student</div><div>Centre for Language Evolution<br></div><div>University of Edinburgh</div><div><br></div><div><b>References:</b></div><div>Cinque, G.
