Abstract:

The study of emotional expressions is rapidly growing, but many
researchers overlook the dynamic and historical aspects of these
expressions. This book proposes new methods for analyzing the
diachronic evolution of emotional expressions within their
sociohistorical contexts, focusing on Old English positive emotions.
Combining cognitive linguistic and historical sociolinguistic
approaches, it addresses the underrepresented study of emotions like
happiness, love, and pride in Old English. By analyzing historical
lexical data, the book explores how positive emotions reflect
sociolinguistic variables and societal changes, offering insights into
semantic shifts and evolving emotional conceptualizations. It also
examines the role of cultural factors in shaping figurative language
related to emotions.
