Abstract

This paper addresses one of the workshop’s themes namely that ‘an understanding of how emotion is expressed and perceived in language is not complete without addressing the role of figurative language and metaphor as basic scaffolding or tool for modulating affective text content.’ It falls into two overlapping halves: the metaphorical perception or construction of emotion in English; and the metaphorical expression of emotion. Data is taken from a lexical database of metaphors, and gives an overview and selected examples of metaphor themes’ contribution to the construction and expression of emotion.
