Abstract:

This edited book deals with the linguistic encoding of emotions in the 
following African languages: Tupuri, Dogon, Bantu-Botatwe group, Akan, 
Hausa, Igbo, Wolof and Nigerian English Pidgin. The contributions included in 
the volume present a variety of approaches and research perspectives 
ranging from historical linguistics and ethnolinguistics to cultural-cognitive 
and discourse analysis. Each chapter develops a different topic discussing it 
in detail and from (what we believe to be) an original standpoint. 

Topic of the book are: the concept of fear among the Tupuri (Elisa Fiorio); the 
conceptualization of 'liver' in Dogon (Laura McPherson and Kirill Prokhorov) ; 
the reconstruction of emotions in ancient Africa (Kathryn de Luna); 'anger' in 
Akan (Gladys Nyarko Ansah); the role of Hausa ideophones in expressing 
emotional states (Sergio Baldi); the semantics and syntax of Igbo verbs of 
emotions (Maduabuchi Agbo); body and emotion in Wolof (Olivier Bondéelle); 
the construction of emotion in clinical encounters in Nigerian English Pidgin 
(Akin Odebunmi); 'love' encoding in Hausa (Gian Claudio Batic).
