We are unquestionably witnessing an ‘emotional turn’ not only in linguistics, but also in other fields of scientific research.<br /><i>Emotion in Discourse</i> follows from and reflects on this scholarly awakening to the world of emotion, and in particular, to its intricate relationship with human language. The book presents both the state of the art and the latest research in an effort to unravel the various workings of the expression of emotion in discourse. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, for emotion is a multifarious phenomenon whose functions in language are enlightened by such other disciplines as psychology, neurology, or communication studies. The volume shows not only how emotion manifests at different linguistic levels, but also how it relates to aspects like linguistic appraisal, emotional intelligence or humor, as well as covering its occurrence in various genres, including scientific discourse. As such, the book contributes to an emerging interdisciplinary field which could be labeled “emotionology”, transcending previous linguistic work and providing an updated characterization of how emotion functions in human discourse. 05 The present volume constitutes a valuable contribution for a number of interrelated disciplines, such as linguistics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and communication studies. In fact, its merit is to provide the reader with a wide overview of various scientific perspectives on the study of emotions, contributing to the so-called ‘emotional turn’ not only in linguistics, but also in other fields of scientific research. [...] Overall, the volume constitutes an extremely interesting collection of innovative studies, which represent a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary effort to bring the attention of the scientific community on the relations among emotion, language and society. Lucia Busso, Aston University, on Linguist List 31.889 (9 November 2019) 05 All the papers in this volume have been carefully researched and amply supported with extensive bibliographical references, and their quality is exactly what we would expect from a selection made by Mckenzie and Alba-Juez [...].

Lachlan Mackenzie VU Amsterdam (The Netherlands) 20 discourse 20 emotion 20 emotive/expressive function of language 20 evaluation 01 This chapter contextualizes the book as a whole, surveying the study of emotion in discourse and presenting our own view and definition of the phenomenon. We show how functional, cognitive and social linguistic approaches to discourse analysis, in what is labeled the &#8216;emotional turn&#8217;, have ceased to ignore the affective functions of language. This redirection of research has been partly inspired by Appraisal Theory&#8217;s interest in identifying the evaluative component of many forms of discourse. But across the social sciences, scholars are recognizing the essential role of emotional phenomena. This has spawned multiple interdisciplinary studies, which bring together students of the mind, social interaction and, crucially for this volume, language, and deliver a better understanding of the psychological, interactional and social processes triggered by emotions. The chapter ends with a brief summary of the remaining thirteen chapters, showing how they together rise to the challenge of identifying the role of emotion in discourse. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p01 Section header 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;I.

It combines a theoretical with an applied lens, in first discussing their place in Systemic Functional Linguistics, before examining their use in contemporary US television series. To do so, the chapter makes use of a new corpus of dialogue transcribed from 66 contemporary TV series: the <i>Sydney Corpus of Television Dialogue</i> (SydTV). SydTV is a small, specialized corpus which has been designed to be representative of the language variety of fictional US American TV dialogue. The analysis of SydTV focuses on the frequency, distribution and functions of swear/taboo words, showing that they are a prime example of the multifunctionality of much television dialogue. As I will illustrate with examples, they can be used for characterization, for humor, as a plot device, as a catch-phrase, to create realism, or to control viewer evaluation/emotion. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.03mac 55 86 32 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;3.

Lachlan Mackenzie VU Amsterdam (Netherlands) 20 emotion 20 expletives 20 focus 20 Functional Discourse Grammar 01 Various linguists have identified linguistic phenomena that express emotions rather than purely ideational or discursive meanings. From the viewpoint of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) adopted here, emotion is visible above all as an overlay on structures that communicate interpersonal and representational meanings. This is particularly apparent for &#8216;expletives&#8217;, words which are in themselves meaningless but &#8216;fill out&#8217; the clause with an expression of emotion. This chapter focuses on the expletive use of <i>fuck</i>, <i>fucking</i>, <i>fucking well</i> and <i>the fuck</i> and their precisely delineable complementary syntactic distributions. The positioning of these expletives is identified for all types of syntactic phrase and nine kinds of pronoun, including the phenomenon of tmesis in, for example, <i>im-fucking-possible</i>. The items are identified as grammatical rather than lexical and as functioning as optional pragmatic markers, specifically as realizing an operator of emotional emphasis (EmoEmph) on Focused or Contrasted Subacts at FDG&#8217;s Interpersonal Level. This analysis is validated by examining the grammaticality or discourse-acceptability of all possible exceptions, and the repercussions are explored for the Morphosyntactic Level, where the syntactic distribution of the items is actually effected. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.04dow 87 112 26 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;4.

Though all languages are believed to have &#8216;emotive interjections&#8217;, the literature on interjections and emotions has proved to be sparse, while studies on specific interjections are particularly uncommon. This study investigates the interjection <i>gosh</i>, which we propose to analyze as an expletive secondary interjection, originally used in the area of religion as a euphemistic replacement of &#8216;God&#8217;. With the religious connection practically severed, <i>gosh</i> can be revealed as non-stigmatized and, in general, positively-valued. It is clearly a mild expletive, with a wide range of emotive, cognitive and discourse-structure uses. By exploring components of the BNC and COCA corpora, this chapter contributes to the study of <i>gosh</i> in terms of further formal and functional features (position and syntactic peripheral behavior, discourse role in conversation, dialogic character) together with possible differences between British and American English. Looking at the behavior of <i>gosh</i> in our data, we claim that it is an interjection that functions as a pragmatic marker in present-day English. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.05bre 113 138 26 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;5.

This chapter focuses on the phraseology used to express emotions in Spanish, taking English as its point of comparison. We situate the topic within the broad perspective of the presence, absence and control of the emotions, centering exclusively on expressions consisting of non-emotional lexis. First, we investigate phrases indicating presence and absence of emotions in Spanish and English. Second, we examine emotional control and lack of control, finding different patterns in the use of the underlying container metaphor. Finally, we explore linguistic affordances for expressing uncomfortable but vague emotions. We conclude with some comparisons between Spanish and English phraseology. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.06foo 139 158 20 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;6.

As a general picture, an asymmetry emerges, with a positive value for right and a negative one for left. The chapter further explores whether this asymmetry is reflected in other domains like in cognitive behavior, culture, and the brain. Special attention is paid to the question whether the left-right dimension should be considered as an image schema in cognitive-linguistic theorizing and whether the axiological dimension should be considered as an integral part of this and other image schemas. In general, the chapter argues that research on the axiological value of words for left and right contributes to insights in the role of laterality in general, including the lateralization of language, handedness and emotion. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p02 Section header 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;II.

As such, they are not typical instances of communication in which the eventual relevance centers upon the value of explicitly communicated content. Nowadays we are witnessing the so-called <i>phatic Internet</i>, in which the propositional content transferred to other users is increasingly irrelevant but the effects that this content generates (in terms of emotions and feelings of connection, sociability, group membership, friends&#8217; acknowledgment and mutual awareness, etc.) are utterly relevant. This chapter will argue that it is mainly the feelings and emotions that are generated from phatic interactions (as well as phatic implicatures) that demand an extension of the scope of analysis and new terminology. Specifically, the term <i>phatic effects</i> will be proposed and applied to Internet-mediated communication. These effects are devoid of the qualities of intentionality and propositionality but are nevertheless essential to understanding why many users spend hours exchanging (apparently) irrelevant content with one another through the Net. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.08att 189 212 24 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8.

Since humor is often accompanied by cues of humorous intention/interpretation on the part of both speaker and hearer and given the tendency to mirror one&#8217;s interlocutor&#8217;s gestures, these cues may be reciprocated (e.g., smiling synchrony). However, due to the facial feedback hypothesis of embodied cognition, producing a facial gesture associated with an emotion leads the subject to experience that emotion. Hence, speakers who mimic the facial cues of humorous intention may end up experiencing the same emotion of mirth that the other speaker is experiencing and this in turn may lead them to have the intention of producing more humor, hence triggering a virtuous circle that may continue for extended periods of time. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.09fro 213 244 32 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;9. <i>My anger was justified surely?</i></TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Epistemic markers across British English and German Emotion Events</Subtitle> 1 A01 Nina-Maria Fronhofer Fronhofer, Nina-Maria Nina-Maria Fronhofer University of Augsburg (Germany) 20 contrastive discourse analysis 20 corpus linguistics 20 Emotion Event 20 epistemic markers 20 intersubjective positioning 01 In this chapter, I explore the role of epistemic markers as sub-units of analysis in Emotion Events, in particular ANGER events, from a cross-linguistic perspective. The corpus study extends the Emotion Event Model and reports on findings based on 248 written narratives experimentally elicited from British English and German university students. Overall, German writers displayed more ANGER events than the British and males used more epistemic markers than females. In the British Emotion Events, more markers of &#8216;low&#8217; certainty were used in contrast to more markers of &#8216;high&#8217; certainty in the German ones. The findings underline the importance of epistemic markers for the modeling of emotion discourse. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p03 Section header 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;III.

Our main hypothesis is that emotional intelligence skills and (emotion) communication skills influence each other: people who show communicative dexterity in dealing with emotionally challenging situations are most likely to show high levels of emotional intelligence, and vice-versa. We conducted a survey among engineering companies which measured both Trait Emotional Intelligence and communicative pragmatic competence with regard to staff responses to emotionally challenging situations. The data were assessed with reference to emotional granularity, emotional diversity, speech act theory, emotion and emotional talk, and e-implicatures. Our results show a quadratic (inverted-U) relationship between the two variables in question, proving a positive (but non-linear) correlation between emotional intelligence and pragmalinguistic competence. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.11dew 279 300 22 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;11.

Individual differences in ERA have been linked to linguistic, cultural and psychological profiles of individuals. The analysis of ERA scores based on correct identification of emotions portrayed six video clips by a British L1 English-speaking actress showed that participants who scored higher on linguistic proficiency and Trait Emotional Intelligence (Trait EI) were better at recognizing emotions. Cultural background had no apparent effect. Participants with lower levels of linguistic proficiency relied more heavily on their Trait EI to recognize the emotions. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.12ben 301 332 32 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

This makes the analysis of emotion in language fascinating and difficult, as it permeates all levels of linguistic description. Appraisal Theory is a powerful instrument intended to capture the subtleties of emotion in discourse. Its status as an open-ended tool, though, reveals a need for more sharply defined categories. Whilst the <sc>appreciation</sc> subsystem has already been elaborated, <sc>affect</sc> seems to require further refinement. In this chapter, we do so by using corpus evidence and drawing inspiration mainly from three psychological approaches to emotion: appraisal theories, construction theories and neuroscience. In emphasizing the notion of goal as the foundation of all emotion types, our revised model aims to describe emotional instances in more detail. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p04 Section header 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;IV.

By drawing both on the Appraisal framework and on the transitivity distinctions made in Systemic Functional Linguistics, 139 newsbites published in the Spanish newspaper <i>El Pa&#237;s</i> and tagged with &#8220;desahucios&#8221; (&#8220;forced evictions&#8221;) were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the results. Findings show that: (a) <i>El Pa&#237;s</i> triggers emotional responses from their audience by representing social actors in the eviction crisis as emotionally suffering victims, as sympathetic heroes or as dehumanized financial and political villains, and (b) journalists strategically use emotional meaning as encoded in verbal processes to highlight the differences in the press representation of the main news actors in the Spanish eviction crisis. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the social issue under analysis and are discussed in relation to previous literature in Critical Media Discourse Analysis. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.14san 357 386 30 Chapter 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;14. <i>Promoemotional</i> science?</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Emotion and intersemiosis in graphical abstracts</Subtitle> 1 A01 Carmen Sancho Guinda Sancho Guinda, Carmen Carmen Sancho Guinda Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) 20 academic scientific discourse 20 emotion 20 graphical abstract 20 hybridization 20 visual literacy 01 In this chapter I explore how the visual mode favors the expression of <i>emotion</i> in <i>graphical abstracts</i>, an academic genre increasingly demanded by high-impact scientific journals. My starting point is the set of expectations aroused by written scholarly discourse with regard to attitudinal projection, as well as recent research on emotion in computer-mediated communication in general. Next, I examine the major challenges posed by graphical abstracts and analyze the emotional language of some actual samples from researchers publishing in high-impact journals. My findings identify a hybridization of the genre and suggest that the presence of emotion may relate to the adoption of roles other than those of scientist, such as journalist, advertiser, and entertainer. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.ni 387 394 8 Miscellaneous 22 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code pbns.302.si 395 397 3 Miscellaneous 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20190327 2019 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027202390 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 45018999 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code P&bns 302 Hb 15 9789027202390 13 2018053674 BB 01 P&bns 02 0922-842X Pragmatics & Beyond New Series 302 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Emotion in Discourse</TitleText> 01 pbns.302 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/pbns.302 1 B01 J.

This redirection of research has been partly inspired by Appraisal Theory&#8217;s interest in identifying the evaluative component of many forms of discourse. But across the social sciences, scholars are recognizing the essential role of emotional phenomena. This has spawned multiple interdisciplinary studies, which bring together students of the mind, social interaction and, crucially for this volume, language, and deliver a better understanding of the psychological, interactional and social processes triggered by emotions. The chapter ends with a brief summary of the remaining thirteen chapters, showing how they together rise to the challenge of identifying the role of emotion in discourse. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p01 Section header 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;I.

It combines a theoretical with an applied lens, in first discussing their place in Systemic Functional Linguistics, before examining their use in contemporary US television series. To do so, the chapter makes use of a new corpus of dialogue transcribed from 66 contemporary TV series: the <i>Sydney Corpus of Television Dialogue</i> (SydTV). SydTV is a small, specialized corpus which has been designed to be representative of the language variety of fictional US American TV dialogue. The analysis of SydTV focuses on the frequency, distribution and functions of swear/taboo words, showing that they are a prime example of the multifunctionality of much television dialogue. As I will illustrate with examples, they can be used for characterization, for humor, as a plot device, as a catch-phrase, to create realism, or to control viewer evaluation/emotion. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.03mac 55 86 32 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;3.

Lachlan Mackenzie VU Amsterdam (Netherlands) 20 emotion 20 expletives 20 focus 20 Functional Discourse Grammar 01 Various linguists have identified linguistic phenomena that express emotions rather than purely ideational or discursive meanings. From the viewpoint of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) adopted here, emotion is visible above all as an overlay on structures that communicate interpersonal and representational meanings. This is particularly apparent for &#8216;expletives&#8217;, words which are in themselves meaningless but &#8216;fill out&#8217; the clause with an expression of emotion. This chapter focuses on the expletive use of <i>fuck</i>, <i>fucking</i>, <i>fucking well</i> and <i>the fuck</i> and their precisely delineable complementary syntactic distributions. The positioning of these expletives is identified for all types of syntactic phrase and nine kinds of pronoun, including the phenomenon of tmesis in, for example, <i>im-fucking-possible</i>. The items are identified as grammatical rather than lexical and as functioning as optional pragmatic markers, specifically as realizing an operator of emotional emphasis (EmoEmph) on Focused or Contrasted Subacts at FDG&#8217;s Interpersonal Level. This analysis is validated by examining the grammaticality or discourse-acceptability of all possible exceptions, and the repercussions are explored for the Morphosyntactic Level, where the syntactic distribution of the items is actually effected. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.04dow 87 112 26 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;4.

Though all languages are believed to have &#8216;emotive interjections&#8217;, the literature on interjections and emotions has proved to be sparse, while studies on specific interjections are particularly uncommon. This study investigates the interjection <i>gosh</i>, which we propose to analyze as an expletive secondary interjection, originally used in the area of religion as a euphemistic replacement of &#8216;God&#8217;. With the religious connection practically severed, <i>gosh</i> can be revealed as non-stigmatized and, in general, positively-valued. It is clearly a mild expletive, with a wide range of emotive, cognitive and discourse-structure uses. By exploring components of the BNC and COCA corpora, this chapter contributes to the study of <i>gosh</i> in terms of further formal and functional features (position and syntactic peripheral behavior, discourse role in conversation, dialogic character) together with possible differences between British and American English. Looking at the behavior of <i>gosh</i> in our data, we claim that it is an interjection that functions as a pragmatic marker in present-day English. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.05bre 113 138 26 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;5.

This chapter focuses on the phraseology used to express emotions in Spanish, taking English as its point of comparison. We situate the topic within the broad perspective of the presence, absence and control of the emotions, centering exclusively on expressions consisting of non-emotional lexis. First, we investigate phrases indicating presence and absence of emotions in Spanish and English. Second, we examine emotional control and lack of control, finding different patterns in the use of the underlying container metaphor. Finally, we explore linguistic affordances for expressing uncomfortable but vague emotions. We conclude with some comparisons between Spanish and English phraseology. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.06foo 139 158 20 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;6.

As a general picture, an asymmetry emerges, with a positive value for right and a negative one for left. The chapter further explores whether this asymmetry is reflected in other domains like in cognitive behavior, culture, and the brain. Special attention is paid to the question whether the left-right dimension should be considered as an image schema in cognitive-linguistic theorizing and whether the axiological dimension should be considered as an integral part of this and other image schemas. In general, the chapter argues that research on the axiological value of words for left and right contributes to insights in the role of laterality in general, including the lateralization of language, handedness and emotion. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p02 Section header 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;II.

As such, they are not typical instances of communication in which the eventual relevance centers upon the value of explicitly communicated content. Nowadays we are witnessing the so-called <i>phatic Internet</i>, in which the propositional content transferred to other users is increasingly irrelevant but the effects that this content generates (in terms of emotions and feelings of connection, sociability, group membership, friends&#8217; acknowledgment and mutual awareness, etc.) are utterly relevant. This chapter will argue that it is mainly the feelings and emotions that are generated from phatic interactions (as well as phatic implicatures) that demand an extension of the scope of analysis and new terminology. Specifically, the term <i>phatic effects</i> will be proposed and applied to Internet-mediated communication. These effects are devoid of the qualities of intentionality and propositionality but are nevertheless essential to understanding why many users spend hours exchanging (apparently) irrelevant content with one another through the Net. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.08att 189 212 24 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8.

Since humor is often accompanied by cues of humorous intention/interpretation on the part of both speaker and hearer and given the tendency to mirror one&#8217;s interlocutor&#8217;s gestures, these cues may be reciprocated (e.g., smiling synchrony). However, due to the facial feedback hypothesis of embodied cognition, producing a facial gesture associated with an emotion leads the subject to experience that emotion. Hence, speakers who mimic the facial cues of humorous intention may end up experiencing the same emotion of mirth that the other speaker is experiencing and this in turn may lead them to have the intention of producing more humor, hence triggering a virtuous circle that may continue for extended periods of time. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.09fro 213 244 32 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;9. <i>My anger was justified surely?</i></TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Epistemic markers across British English and German Emotion Events</Subtitle> 1 A01 Nina-Maria Fronhofer Fronhofer, Nina-Maria Nina-Maria Fronhofer University of Augsburg (Germany) 20 contrastive discourse analysis 20 corpus linguistics 20 Emotion Event 20 epistemic markers 20 intersubjective positioning 01 In this chapter, I explore the role of epistemic markers as sub-units of analysis in Emotion Events, in particular ANGER events, from a cross-linguistic perspective. The corpus study extends the Emotion Event Model and reports on findings based on 248 written narratives experimentally elicited from British English and German university students. Overall, German writers displayed more ANGER events than the British and males used more epistemic markers than females. In the British Emotion Events, more markers of &#8216;low&#8217; certainty were used in contrast to more markers of &#8216;high&#8217; certainty in the German ones. The findings underline the importance of epistemic markers for the modeling of emotion discourse. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p03 Section header 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;III.

Our main hypothesis is that emotional intelligence skills and (emotion) communication skills influence each other: people who show communicative dexterity in dealing with emotionally challenging situations are most likely to show high levels of emotional intelligence, and vice-versa. We conducted a survey among engineering companies which measured both Trait Emotional Intelligence and communicative pragmatic competence with regard to staff responses to emotionally challenging situations. The data were assessed with reference to emotional granularity, emotional diversity, speech act theory, emotion and emotional talk, and e-implicatures. Our results show a quadratic (inverted-U) relationship between the two variables in question, proving a positive (but non-linear) correlation between emotional intelligence and pragmalinguistic competence. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.11dew 279 300 22 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;11.

Individual differences in ERA have been linked to linguistic, cultural and psychological profiles of individuals. The analysis of ERA scores based on correct identification of emotions portrayed six video clips by a British L1 English-speaking actress showed that participants who scored higher on linguistic proficiency and Trait Emotional Intelligence (Trait EI) were better at recognizing emotions. Cultural background had no apparent effect. Participants with lower levels of linguistic proficiency relied more heavily on their Trait EI to recognize the emotions. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.12ben 301 332 32 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

This makes the analysis of emotion in language fascinating and difficult, as it permeates all levels of linguistic description. Appraisal Theory is a powerful instrument intended to capture the subtleties of emotion in discourse. Its status as an open-ended tool, though, reveals a need for more sharply defined categories. Whilst the <sc>appreciation</sc> subsystem has already been elaborated, <sc>affect</sc> seems to require further refinement. In this chapter, we do so by using corpus evidence and drawing inspiration mainly from three psychological approaches to emotion: appraisal theories, construction theories and neuroscience. In emphasizing the notion of goal as the foundation of all emotion types, our revised model aims to describe emotional instances in more detail. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.p04 Section header 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Section&#160;IV.

By drawing both on the Appraisal framework and on the transitivity distinctions made in Systemic Functional Linguistics, 139 newsbites published in the Spanish newspaper <i>El Pa&#237;s</i> and tagged with &#8220;desahucios&#8221; (&#8220;forced evictions&#8221;) were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the results. Findings show that: (a) <i>El Pa&#237;s</i> triggers emotional responses from their audience by representing social actors in the eviction crisis as emotionally suffering victims, as sympathetic heroes or as dehumanized financial and political villains, and (b) journalists strategically use emotional meaning as encoded in verbal processes to highlight the differences in the press representation of the main news actors in the Spanish eviction crisis. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the social issue under analysis and are discussed in relation to previous literature in Critical Media Discourse Analysis. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.14san 357 386 30 Chapter 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;14. <i>Promoemotional</i> science?</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Emotion and intersemiosis in graphical abstracts</Subtitle> 1 A01 Carmen Sancho Guinda Sancho Guinda, Carmen Carmen Sancho Guinda Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain) 20 academic scientific discourse 20 emotion 20 graphical abstract 20 hybridization 20 visual literacy 01 In this chapter I explore how the visual mode favors the expression of <i>emotion</i> in <i>graphical abstracts</i>, an academic genre increasingly demanded by high-impact scientific journals. My starting point is the set of expectations aroused by written scholarly discourse with regard to attitudinal projection, as well as recent research on emotion in computer-mediated communication in general. Next, I examine the major challenges posed by graphical abstracts and analyze the emotional language of some actual samples from researchers publishing in high-impact journals. My findings identify a hybridization of the genre and suggest that the presence of emotion may relate to the adoption of roles other than those of scientist, such as journalist, advertiser, and entertainer. 10 01 JB code pbns.302.ni 387 394 8 Miscellaneous 22 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code pbns.302.si 395 397 3 Miscellaneous 23 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20190327 2019 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 870 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 11 18 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 18 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 1 18 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
