Abstract:

It has long been received wisdom in semantics and pragmatics that 'the
head' and 'the heart' are two opposing forces, a view that has led
scholars, until now, to explore the mental processes behind cognition,
and the mental processes behind emotion, as two separate entities.
This bold, innovative book challenges this view, and provides an
original study of how we communicate our emotions through language,
drawing on both pragmatic theory and affective science. It begins with
the assumption that emotional or expressive meaning plays such a
central role in human interaction that any pragmatic theory worth its
salt must account for it. It meets the associated challenges head-on
and strives to integrate affect within one theory of utterance
interpretation, showing that emotional meaning and
rationality/reasoning can be analysed within one framework. Written in
a clear and concise style, it is essential reading for anyone
interested in communication and emotion.

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics
