Emotions across Languages and Cultures : Diversity and Universals Paperback / softback
by Anna (Australian National University, Canberra) Wierzbicka
Part of the Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction series
Paperback / softback
Description
In this fascinating book, Anna Wierzbicka brings psychological, anthropological and linguistic insights to bear on our understanding of the way emotions are expressed and experienced in different cultures, languages, and culturally-shaped social relations.
The expression of emotion in the face, body and modes of speech are all explored and Wierzbicka shows how the bodily expression of emotion varies across cultures and challenges traditional approaches to the study of facial expressions.
As well as offering a perspective on human emotions based on the analysis of language and ways of talking about emotion, this intriguing and controversial book attempts to identify universals of human emotion by analysing empirical evidence from different languages and cultures.
This book will be invaluable to academics and students of emotion across the social sciences.
