Linguistic theories of emotion
Ch. 5. P. 84–102.
Emotions are a multifaceted phenomenon. They are at the center of attention of different disciplines including psychology and linguistics. These two disciplines have the most direct access to emotions due to the nature of their research. For psychologists, emotions are states experienced by people on a regular basis. In contrast, linguists study words and expressions that people use to convey their emotions. Despite not being identical, these two foci of studies are closely related. Can the divide between these two disciplines be narrowed? Can the visions of emotions offered by these two disciplines be mutually enriched and possibly even merged? This chapter overviews leading linguistic approaches to studying emotions and then demonstrates their relevance to theories of emotions in psychology. Possible directions of mutual enhancement are discussed.

Boris Pasternak’s poem “Before All That There Was Winter” (from the book “My Sister, Life”) is enigmatic in many ways: its content is obscure, its syntax is not always clear, and the boundaries of its metaphors are not obvious. It requires a thorough and detailed analysis of each line. This analysis was carried out by ...

Governance is rapidly digitising, yet how citizens’ emotions towards algorithmic policy decision-making relate to their trust in governance institutions remains understudied. Drawing on the affect-as-information model, we argue that emotions constitute a distinct input into institutional trust judgements, operating both directly and by conditioning the weight of cognitive evaluations. We test this argument with a ...

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

We propose an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates insights from political science, public administration, organizational theory, economics, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science to better understand the role of emotions in governance in the digital age. We argue that citizens' sentiments and emotional responses are central to their relationships with government institutions and bureaucracies. Building on bounded ...

Introduction:
Affective computing (AC) is increasingly used to study emotional processes underlying decision-making, yet its methodological validity in capturing spontaneous emotional responses and their behavioral relevance remains debated. In particular, it is unclear how facial obstructions and baseline correction affect the accuracy of AC-based facial emotion measures in capturing emotion–behavior relationships.
Methods:
The predictive validity of AC-based facial ...

The article addresses a key challenge to moral justification in normative ethics - the relationship between emotions and retributive moral judgments. Retributivism holds that there are normative reasons to reward or punish individuals on the basis of merit, independent of consequences. A common objection argues that such beliefs are grounded in retributive emotions, which are ...

This study investigates the mental representation and processing of the two types of metaphorical senses in Russian polysemous verbs and adjectives using eye-tracking, sensicality judgment, and semantic clustering tasks. The metaphorical senses under study differ in their semantic proximity to the literal sense, with “proximal” metaphors (e.g. “raise prices”) retaining more semantic components, and “distal” ...

The role of emotion in meaning-making remains undertheorized in cultural sociology. This article argues that emotions and affect are intrinsic to meaning-making and proposes cathexis—the attachment of emotions generated in social interaction to objects, symbols, and ideas—as the fundamental mechanism by which emotions co-constitute cultural meanings. Durkheim implied this constitutive role of affect in his theory ...

To test a person's psycho-emotional state, various methods are used, one of which is a reaction to an emotional video sequence. Such a reaction can make it possible to assess the degree of a person's involvement in certain emotional events. However, there are few methods to assess psycho-emotional status objectively. One of the sensitive markers ...

The linguistic literature has shown that metaphor provokes evaluative meanings, but it is unclear how different types of metaphor, as well as different genres of discourse influence the realization of such meanings. To partially answer this question, our study aims to investigate the relationship between conceptual metaphors and evaluation in Australian broadsheet and tabloid articles ...
