Abstract:

Interest in human emotion no longer equates to unscientific speculation.
21st-century humanities scholars are paying serious attention to our capacity
to express emotions and giving rigorous explanations of affect in language. We
are unquestionably witnessing an ‘emotional turn’ not only in linguistics, but
also in other fields of scientific research.

"Emotion in Discourse" follows from and reflects on this scholarly awakening
to the world of emotion, and in particular, to its intricate relationship with
human language. The book presents both the state of the art and the latest
research in an effort to unravel the various workings of the expression of
emotion in discourse. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, for emotion is a
multifarious phenomenon whose functions in language are enlightened by such
other disciplines as psychology, neurology, or communication studies. The
volume shows not only how emotion manifests at different linguistic levels,
but also how it relates to aspects like linguistic appraisal, emotional
intelligence or humor, as well as covering its occurrence in various genres,
including scientific discourse. As such, the book contributes to an emerging
interdisciplinary field which could be labeled “emotionology”, transcending
previous linguistic work and providing an updated characterization of how
emotion functions in human discourse.
