Abstract:

Among emotions, surprise has been extensively studied in psychology. In
linguistics, surprise, like other emotions, has mainly been studied through
the syntactic patterns involving surprise lexemes. However, little has been
done so far to correlate the reaction of surprise investigated in
psychological approaches and the effects of surprise on language. This
cross-disciplinary volume aims to bridge the gap between emotion, cognition
and language by bringing together nine contributions on surprise from
different backgrounds – psychology, human-agent interaction, linguistics.
Using different methods at different levels of analysis, all contributors
concur in defining surprise as a cognitive operation and as a component of
emotion rather than as a pure emotion. Surprise results from expectations not
being met and is therefore related to epistemicity. Linguistically, there does
not exist an unequivocal marker of surprise. Surprise may be either described
by surprise lexemes, which are often associated with figurative language, or
it may be expressed by grammatical and syntactic constructions. Originally
published as a special issue of Review of Cognitive Linguistics 13:2 (2015)
