Abstract:

This book deals with the expression of emotions in Igala – a Nigerian minority
language with about two million speakers – from a Cognitive Linguistics
perspective. The author investigates the network of the Igala language of
emotions using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) framework as developed
by Anna Wierzbicka and her collaborators. The claims of adequacy of NSM in its
present form for the analysis of emotion concepts universally will be
challenged. This is due to the way emotions are conceptualized in the Igala
language and due to the absence of certain semantic primes which are
considered necessary for the analysis of emotions.Therefore, this study
presents a testing ground for further development of the framework as well as
a peek into research in African languages.
