Linguistic Approaches to Emotions in Context, Baider & Cislaru

Baider, Fabienne H. & Georgeta Cislaru, eds., Linguistic Approaches to Emotions in Context, Amsterdam, John Benjamins, 2014,  coll.: Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 241, vi, 358 p., ISBN 9789027256461, prix: 95 euros.

This book presents new issues in the study of the interface of emotions and language, and their use in social context. Two fundamental questions are tackled: the way different languages encode emotional information and the core role emotions play in languages’ structure, use and learning. Seldom treated means of expressing emotions (such as interjections, conditionals, scalarity, allocentric constructions), the social and professional impact of emotions and the latest developments in the interface of speech recognition / emotions are some of the key contributions to this volume. The cross-cultural perspective contrasts new couples of languages (among which Australian aboriginal languages, Cypriot Greek, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, Russian) and addresses sociolinguistic, pragmatic and discursive issues. Most of the papers attempt interesting theoretical articulations that aim at a better understanding of the linguistic and sociolinguistic nature of emotions. This book will be highly relevant for students and researchers interested in emotions, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, as well as prosody and philosophy of language.  Table of contents.
