Language and Cognitive Structures of Emotion

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intricate connection between language and emotion, the book argues against the belief that emotive expressions are purely subjective or culturally variable. It posits that universal logical structures exist at the intersection of language and emotion, providing a foundation for a formal theory of emotive representations. This perspective challenges conventional views in cognitive science and linguistics, making it relevant for linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists alike, and revealing significant implications for understanding cognition.
