Abstract

The book discusses the issue of culture and cognition interaction from a historical perspective. It focuses in particular on the diachronic development of the metaphors of anger between 1500-1900. The book posits the matrix domain of emotions as a model for understanding the conceptualisation and the linguistic expression of emotions over time.
