Abstract:

Emotion plays a critical role in every human interaction and permeates
all social activity. Displaying, responding to, and talking about
emotions is thus central to human language, communication, and social
interaction. However, emotions are multidimensional, indeterminate,
and inherently situated phenomena, which makes studying them in
contextualised settings challenging for researchers. This
groundbreaking book illustrates what a sociopragmatic perspective
brings to the broader scholarly understanding of emotion and its role
in social life, and sets out to lay the necessary foundations for a
sociopragmatic theorisation of emotion. It brings together a renowned
team of multidisciplinary scholars to demonstrate how evaluation,
relationships, and morality are central to any account of emotions in
discourse and interaction. It also exemplifies how a sociopragmatic
approach to emotions pays more attention to the role that different
discourse systems play in how emotions are expressed, interpreted,
responded to, and talked about across different languages and
cultures.
