This volume is the first to explore the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different levels of linguistic complexity. Research on the language-emotion interface has to date concentrated primarily on the conceptual dimension of emotions as expressed via language, with semantic and pragmatic studies dominating the field. The chapters in this book, in contrast, bring together work from different linguistic frameworks: generative syntax, functional and usage-based linguistics, formal semantics and pragmatics, and experimental phonology. The volume contributes to the growing field of research that explores the interaction between linguistic expressions and the 'expressive dimension' of language, and will be of interest to linguists from a range of theoretical backgrounds who are interested in the language-emotion interface.
Andreas Trotzke is Außerplanmäßiger Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz. His areas of expertise include pragmatics, the syntax-pragmatics interface, psycholinguistics, and language education, and his research has been published in journals such as Journal of Pragmatics, Frontiers in Psychology, Journal of Linguistics, Linguistics, and Lingua. He is the General Editor of the journal Pedagogical Linguistics (Benjamins), the editor of numerous volumes, and the author of three monographs, of which the most recent is The Grammar of Emphasis: From Information Structure to the Expressive Dimension (de Gruyter, 2017). Xavier Villalba is Associate Professor of Catalan Linguistics and member of the Centre de Lingüística Teòrica at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. His research interests include the interface between syntax and information structure, particularly right-dislocation, and between syntax and semantics/pragmatics, especially exclamative and existential sentences. His work has appeared in journals such as Discourse Processes, Journal of Pragmatics, and Lingua, and in edited volumes from Routledge, Benjamins, and de Gruyter.
