More recently, Fabiszak & Hebda (2010) looked at pride in medieval English, Trim (2010) studied the degree of salience of different metaphorical models for love in English, and Tissari (2010) looked at word pairs like happinesssadness, love-hate, hope-fear, pride-shame, calmness-anxiety, and excitement-respect in Early Modern (ca. 1500-1700) and Present-Day English.…”

The relevance of emotion for language and linguistics is considered from three perspectives: (a) the conceptualization of emotions, (b) the expression of emotions and (c) the grounding of language. As to the conceptualization perspective, research on the emotional lexicon is discussed. Not only content words (N, V, A), but also prepositions are relevant (to long for, hate against). From the expression perspective, it is claimed that the expression of emotions takes place on all linguistic levels: phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic, and on the level of figurative language use (metaphor and metonymy). 'Grounding' of language in emotion means that emotion is one of the preconditions for the functioning of language (emotion is part of the embodied grounding) and for its coming into existence, both ontogenetically and phylogenetically. Conceptualization of emotions: Fluidity and relational propertiesWith nouns like love, anger, surprise, we can talk about emotions. But other parts of speech also contain words that pertain to emotions, in particular verbs (to love, hate, fear) and adjectives (happy, sad, angry). In what follows, we will have a look at nouns and verbs, leaving out adjectives, but we will add prepositions, as they

This article discusses the enormous potential of interdisciplinary conversation. In this particular case, the conversation is between musicologists and a linguist, and concerns conceptual metaphors describing emotional experiences. While conceptual metaphor theory was formed through considering the embodied experience of individual human beings, recent research in musicology has focused on intersubjectivity, that is, group experiences and discussions. Albeit already familiar with intersubjectivity, linguists can certainly learn from musicologists. Another fruitful point of contact is to compare many cognitive linguists’ focus on emotions as forces that can make a person behave uncontrollably with musicologists’ preferred understanding of emotions as regulated in the moment. This brings us closer to our lived, everyday experiences. Such considerations may serve not only as a basis for interdisciplinary collaboration but also as an opportunity to envision new ways of conducting linguistic research.

Consciousness & Emotion Book Series publishes original works on this topic, in philosophy, psychology and the neurosciences. The series emphasizes thoughtful analysis of the implications of both empirical and experiential (e.g., clinical psychological) approaches to emotion. It will include topical works by scientists who are interested in the implications of their empirical findings for an understanding of emotion and consciousness and their interrelations. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataMoving ourselves, moving others : motion and emotion in intersubjectivity, consciousness and language / edited by Ad Foolen... [et al.]. An electronic version of this book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched. KU is a collaborative initiative designed to make high quality books Open Access for the public good. The Open Access isbn for this book is 978 90 272 7491 5. IntroductionThis book is inspired by the theme session "Intersubjectivity and Language: The Interplay of Cognition and Emotion" held at the 10th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference in Krakow, Poland, in July 2007. As organizers of the session, we felt that an interdisciplinary volume on this matter would be an appropriate follow-up. In addition to contributors from the theme session, we invited authors who are well known in the field. Their positive response led to a total of 16 papers, which we grouped into 3 Parts: I Consciousness, II Intersubjectivity, and III Language. We asked each of the contributors to discuss these 'higher functions' of the human mind from the foundational perspective of motion and/or emotion (See Figure 1 in the Prologue). The polyphonous result contains, we think, many harmonizing but also some disharmonizing tones. As such, the volume constitutes a relevant contribution to the actual discussions in the humanities with respect to the human mind. The 16 papers are framed by a Prologue and an Epilogue. Jordan Zlatev, one of the editors and also co-author of one of the papers in Part III, wrote the Prologue in which he introduces each paper in the overarching perspective of motion and emotion. Colwyn Trevarthen, co-author of one of the papers in Part II, followed our request to write an Epilogue, in which he reflects on the contributions of the volume and places them in a historical perspective. Editing a voluminous collection as the present one does not involve much motion, besides moving fingers and hand on keyboard and mouse. A good deal of emotion was and is involved, however. Above all feelings of thankfulness. First of all, our gratitude goes to the authors for their work and patient cooperation over the years that the volume took shape. Secondly, we thank the colleagues who were willing to act as anonymous reviewers for the different papers. Special thanks go to Ralph Ellis, co-editor of the Consciousness & Emotion Book Series in which this volume is being published. Ralph has given us useful support along the way and even felt inspired to contribute, ...
