Abstract:

The volume investigates the syntagmatic relations of certain Finnish emotion
verbs that are formed by the derivational suffix -ua/-yä (e.g. suuttua ‘get
angry’, pelästyä ‘get frightened’). Prototypically, the suffix expresses
reflexivity, but in the case of the “inchoative” emotion verbs, it indicates a
change of state on behalf of the experiencer, from a non-emotional state to an
emotional state. The starting point of the investigation is a discussion of
different psychological theories of emotion. The discussion shows that
constructivist theories particularly emphasize the role of language and offer
several links to the cognitive, usage-based model of language that constitutes
the theoretical framework guiding the thesis. With regard to the usage-based
model, special focus will be put on argument structures and stimulus nouns.
The empirical part makes use of different forms of co-occurrence analysis in
order to shed light the syntagmatic relations of the inchoative emotion verbs.
