Language of Emotion

In the Old Testament we find different descriptions of mourning for men and women. The differences arise from the social roles and expectations of one person and the other. The descriptions include physical expressionssuch astearing clothes, putting on sackcloth and sprinkling ashes on the head, but also acts of humility and deep mourning such as fasting and loud lamentation. The emotions and intensity of grief are vividly portrayed in both genders and illustrate the human experience of loss. The common and individual elements point to a deeply personal and communal grief that allows for the expression of loss and the search for solace. In our paper, we will focus on the exploration of emotions in the grieving process, particularly in the context of Old Testament female figures. We will first present an understanding of these emotions and then discuss specific emotions based on the Old Testament and various female characters.

Samostalnik animus zavzema v Terencijevi Andriji zelo pomembno mesto. Ob analizi primerov v Andriji ugotovimo, daje dejanska pomenska vrednost samostalnika določena z njegovo stavčno viogo in vsebinskimi dopolnili, ki natančne je pojasnjujejo njegove lastnosti. Tako je tudi zgolj s slovnično interpretacijo mogoče zadovoljivo opredeliti Terencijevo pojmovanje duševnosti, katere izhodišče predstavlja prav samostalnik animus kot središče zavesti in čustvovanja.

In the thesis, I study the characteristics and ways of emotional process of interviewed adolescents in a residental treatment institution. In theoretical part I present the basic characteristics of emotions, behaviour associated with them, emotional problems and ways of constructive expression of emotions, and the concepts emotional literacy and emotional literacy education. Then I focus on the period of adolescence and the influence of a family, culture and gender specific socialisation on the emotional development of adolescents. I also define emotional and behavioural disorders in adolescents, I present some classifications of these and describe their origin. In the second part, a brief description of residental treatment institutions follows, with the description of the population that is settled in the mentioned institution, and the emotional literacy education in them. My research problem relates to the study of the characteristics of the emotions of adolescents from Zavod za ...

Diplomsko delo obravnava slovensko in špansko besedotvorje s sinhronega vidika, njuno primerjavo ter primerjavo španskih tvorjenk in njihovih ustreznic v slovenščini v slovensko-španski slikanici Družinska skrivnost (Secreto de Familia). Ugotovljene so bile določene vzporednice in razlike med besedotvornima sistemoma, ki so bile upoštevane v empiričnem delu. Z analizo španskih tvorjenk sem ugotavljala, v kolikšni meri se je pri prevodu v slovenščino ohranila ista besedotvorna vrsta, prav tako pa se je preverjala pogostost določenih besedotvornih vrst v izvornem jeziku.The thesis analyses Slovene and Spanish word formation from the synchronous point of view, their comparison and comparison of Spanish complex words and their equivalents in Slovene in the Slovene-Spanish picture book Family Secret (Secreto de Familia). Certain parallels and differences between word-formation systems were found, which were taken into account in the empirical part. By analysing Spanish complex words, I w...

Love was always one of the most desired emotions in history as it meant acceptance and tenderness. Therefore. people, mostly women (stereotypically (for Slovenian areas)), tried to gain love through magic, amulets and rituals, especially when marriages were mostly arranged by economic and social status. Therefore, it is surprising that there are almost no written sources for traditional love charms in Slovenian archives, though there are some descriptions of love magic rituals. In contrast, nowadays, we can find many internet sites with so-called love spells in the Slovenian language accompanied by some content explanations and also alleged historical descriptions. In this article Slovenian love spells which appear nowadays as a magic recipe for love on internet will be overviewed, their structure and content will be analysed, compared to traditional forms, and explanations within the cultural context will be given.

Primeri, kjer se v ruèini ponavljajoèe se dejanje izraa z dovrnim sedanjikom (íàãëÿäíî-ïðèìåðíûé òèï óïîòðåáëåíèÿ), se razlagajo takole: glede na to, da tipièno dovrniki v ruèini pomenijo enkratno konkretno celostno dejanje, sluijo dejanja izraena z dovrniki kot enkraten nazoren zgled za obièajno, ponavljajoèe se dejanje. Da gre za ponavljanje, izvemo iz konteksta. V takih zgledih je prisoten element nazornosti. Raba dovrnih glagolov za ponavljajoèe se dejanje je stilistièno omejena in jo praviloma sreèamo le v pogovornem jeziku in v jeziku umetnike literature (Russkaja grammatika 1982: 608609).

Ker je raba dovrnega sedanjika za ponavljajoèe se oz. uzualno dejanje v ruèini redka in ekspresivna, praviloma pa se kot e omenjeno ponavljajoèe se oz. uzualno dejanje izraa z nedovrnikom, moramo tudi slovenskega (tako kot slovakega ali èekega, Isaèenko 1960: 455) tudenta ruèine opozoriti, naj ne govori: *Ýòî ÷àñòî ñëó÷èòñÿ (DOV). *Âå÷åðíèé ïîåçä îáûêíîâåííî ïðèä¸ò ñ îïîçäàíèåì (DOV).

This article analyzes the group of words formed from the verb stopiti ‘to step’. The methodological premise of the analysis is multistage word formation, which deals with derivatives from the same base root within the same lexical meaning. It shows the number of derivatives by individual word-formational group and their part of speech (both in general and by individual word-formation stage), the load of word-formational models, and the structure of the word-formation subgroups. The purpose of this article is to establish the properties of forming words from the verb stopiti or its word-formation productivity.

In this thesis I present the first detailed description of collocations with ini ('heart') in Dzaha Dzaui (colonial Mixtec), based on data from the "Vocabulario en lengua misteca" edited by the Dominican Friar Francisco de Alvarado in 1593. These collocations constitute the language's most important strategy to refer to the "inner" life, expressing a wide range of emotional, cognitive and other related situations belonging to the semantic domain of experience, and can be described as "psycho-collocations" (Matisoff 1986), or "experiental collocations" (Verhoeven 2007). ini is originally a body part term for 'heart'. Among its several extended meanings, it stands for the living, sensitive part of a human or animal. In collocations, it functions as a modifier which marks and/or conveys "psycho-meaning" to the terms it collocates with, often by means of metaphorical or metonymical processes. In the latter case, the meaning of the expression is often non-compositional, i.e. it can not be deduced by the meaning of its parts. For example, ('hard' + 'heart') means 'skilful', and ('to go' + 'put upright' + 'heart') is a common way to express, i.a., 'to suspect', but also 'to remember'. A central part of this thesis is the syntactical analysis of the constructions. I show that in the data, ini can be a predicate-external argument of the clause or be incorporated into the predicate. I suggest that this is evidence for a process of noun incorporation.

This article focuses on metaphorical verbal-nominal constructions consisting of prepositional phrases with emotions nouns and verbs expressing movement in the physical space (e.g., pasti v obup ‘fall into despair’, spraviti koga v jezo 'bring someone in anger', pride do veselja 'it comes to joy'). These constructions express an event of emotional change (i.e. an emotional arousal). By incorporating a cognitive syntactic analysis into the lexical one, the author sheds light on 1) spatial basis of linguistic representations of emotion concepts and the event of emotional arousal, 2) conceptualization of the event in terms of causality. The study confirms embodied nature of the metaphors which express events in the abstract domain of emotion.

This article analyzes some of the lexical semantic features of Barunga Kriol, an Australian creole language (Northern Territory, Australia), in comparison with Dalabon, one of the Australian Aboriginal languages replaced by Barunga Kriol. Focusing on the semantic domain of emotions, this study offers insights into how creole languages select and organize semantic meanings, and to what extent this results in lexical loss or retention. I spell out the exact nature of the lexical resemblances between the two languages, and highlight major differences as well. The conclusions of the study are twofold. Firstly, I show that the Barunga Kriol emotion lexicon shares a great many properties with the Dalabon emotion lexicon. As a result, speakers in Barunga Kriol and Dalabon respectively are often able to package meaning in very similar ways: the two languages offer comparable means of describing events in the world. From that point of view, language shift can be considered to have a lesser impact. Secondly, I show that the lexical resemblances between Barunga Kriol and Dalabon are not limited to simple cases where the lexemes in each language share the same forms and/or meanings. Instead, lexical resemblances relate to a number of other properties in semantics and combinatorics, and I devise a preliminary typology of these lexical resemblances. Beyond the comparison between Barunga Kriol and Dalabon, this typology may tentatively serve as a grid to evaluate lexical resemblances between languages more generally.

This article presents a preliminary typology of emotional connotations in evaluative morphology, starting with diminutives and augmentatives. I inventory the emotional meanings and connotations found in a sample of nineteen languages for diminutives, and nine languages plus a few additional regional studies for augmentatives. Given the small size of the samples, this typology can only remain preliminary, but it does highlight a number of points. Across languages and continents, diminutives can express positive emotions such as compassion, love and admiration, as well as negative emotions such as contempt. The emotional connotations of augmentatives are more limited, but do display a blend of positive and negative emotions including contempt and repulsion, admiration and respect, endearment and compassion. Diminutives and augmentatives do not contrast sharply with respect to emotional valence (positive or negative), but while diminutives are anchored in intimacy, the emotions conveyed by augmentatives more often relate to broader social contexts.

Kuni is a Western Oceanic language of the Papuan Tip linkage. I here present an historical, text-based study of the available expressions for emotions, 1896-1952. Unlike object-dominant languages (Capell, 1969), Kuni tends to express many abstract categories dynamically, either as finite verbs or in the form of metaphorical body-part predications. Emotions, for example, can be encoded in any of the following ways: a) As apparently unmotivated (i.e. 'literal') verbs b) As derived nouns – a comparatively rare usage c) As metaphorical body-part predications (MBPPs) d) As lexified MBPPs Certain emotions are only expressed by abstract verbs, others only as MBPPs. However, anger type emotions can be encoded either by abstract verbs or MBPPs. The nature of the emotions so grouped suggests certain social-functional categories. However, the picture is distorted by the fact that some MBPPs are lexified as complex verbs.

Cherang'any, a Southern Nilotic language of Kenya, displays an interesting inventory of emotion expressions, which are found in special syntactic experiencer constructions and in the use of body parts and their metaphorical extensions. Furthermore perception verbs, the manifold extents and verbs of 'fearing', ideophones, and culture specific words are used to express emotions. The Cherang'any themselves claim that showing emotions associated with pain or sadness is highly discouraged in their society.

This article offers a cognitive analysis of two prefixed verbal formations: začutiti and občutiti 'to begin to feel'. It is argued that in combination with čutiti 'feel', za- and ob- reflect a different spatial conceptualization of a change of state, as well as motivating semantic and syntactic differences between the two verbs. Za- in začutiti expresses a metaphorical shift between »to not feel« and »to feel« and the beginning of a new state of feeling whereas ob- in občutiti indicates that the beginning of a new state of feeling affects the person who undergoes it entirely. Moreover, the analysis sheds light on the fact that občutiti can also function as an imperfective verb.
