Chapter 1The emotional dimension in terminological variation
The example of transitivization of the locative complement in fishing
Anne Condamines | CLLE-ERSS (UMR5263), Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès et CNRS
You can have no idea of the depths of emotion felt by fishing clubs and anglers generally. (Paul Torday. 2007. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. London: Phoenix, p. 116)The emotional dimension is generally considered to be unimportant in terminology. Real usage, however, shows that this may be erroneous. Some specialized domains, such as sport or hobbies, are concerned by emotion, and the way terminology functions may be affected by it. This chapter is based on the study of fishing in which, for French as other languages, it is possible, in some specific situations, to transitivize the locative complement. It presents data obtained from the Internet and describes the role of the nature of the websites. It proposes to take into account the emotional dimension from the perspective of embodied cognition. Finally, it discusses the practical difficulties of identification and representation that may arise when the emotional dimension is taken into account.
