Abstract:

Surprise is treated as an affect in Aristotelian philosophy as well as in
Cartesian philosophy. In experimental psychology, surprise is considered to be
an emotion. In phenomenology, it is only addressed indirectly (Husserl,
Heidegger, Levinas), with the important exception of Ricœur and Maldiney; it
is reduced to a break in cognition by cognitivists (Dennett). Only recently
was it broached in linguistics, with a focus on lexico-syntactic categories.
As for the expression of surprise, it has been studied in connection with 
evidentiality in languages that encode surprise morphosyntactically. However,
how surprise is encoded in languages that lack an evidential morphosyntactic
system has been largely unexplored.

This book provides new insights into the dynamics of surprise based on a
heuristic hypothesis tested against the investigation of time, language and
emotion. It is intended to arouse the interest of a multidisciplinary audience
keen on crossing the disciplinary borders of phenomenology, cognitive
sciences, and pragmatics.

The theoretical approaches adopted in this collection of articles rely on
experiments and corpus data. They advance knowledge by building on robust
empirical results coming from psychology, microphenomenology, linguistics and
physiology.
