  • More about Pragmatics and Emotion

The book challenges the view that the head and the heart are two opposing forces and provides an original study of how we communicate our emotions through language. It assumes that emotional or expressive meaning plays a central role in human interaction and integrates affect within one theory of utterance interpretation. It is essential reading for anyone interested in communication and emotion.

In the realm of semantics and pragmatics, a prevailing notion has held sway for quite some time: the mind is dichotomized into two opposing forces, namely the head and the heart. This perspective has guided scholars in their exploration of the mental processes underlying cognition and emotion, treating them as distinct entities. However, this groundbreaking book challenges this notion and presents an original investigation into how we express our emotions through language. Drawing upon pragmatic theory and affective science, it endeavors to integrate these two domains, demonstrating that emotional meaning holds a paramount significance in human interaction. It confronts the associated challenges head-on and strives to amalgamate affect within a single framework for interpreting utterances. By doing so, it reveals the potential to analyze emotional meaning alongside rationality or reasoning within a unified analytical framework. Crafted in a clear and concise manner, this text is an indispensable resource for anyone intrigued by the realms of communication and emotion.
