“…In ASL, some signs related to anger are articulated by the head and express an extremely high ('irrational') degree of anger, building on the mental image of anger as an 'exploding face' . Signs that are articulated on the chest and stomach, on the other hand, seem to exploit the same 'anger as fl uid' or 'anger as inner explosion'-metaphor as in English (Grushkin 1998;Meir et al 2013). Th us, the metaphoric location to which psych-verb forms refer can diff er, even if the denoted emotion is the same.…”

A long tradition of psych-verb research in spoken languages has demonstrated that they constitute a class of their own, both semantically and syntactically. This study presents a description and analysis of psych-verbs in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT) in order to investigate whether this verb type displays comparable peculiarities in sign languages. The study is primarily based on data from the Corpus NGT (Crasborn et al. 2008). Firstly, the data indicate that all psych-verbs in NGT select a subject Experiencer. Secondly, it is shown that there is an iconic property of psych-verbs in NGT that lays bare a conceptual link between psychological states and locative relations: body-anchoring. The location singled out by the place of articulation of a psych-verb is associated with the metaphoric location of an emotion, or a type of behavior associated with the expression of an emotion. It is furthermore argued that the body as a whole iconically represents the container of a psychological state. The body is analyzed as a possessive determiner that may receive a first person specification as a consequence of body-anchoring. The data support such an analysis, as they suggest that sentences without an overt Experiencer yield a default first person interpretation. Thus, it is claimed that iconicity affects sentence structure and as such should be incorporated into the formal grammar system. Given that body-anchoring is the source of the effects mentioned above, it may be hypothesized that psych-verbs in NGT do not constitute a class of its own, but rather belong to a larger class of iconically motivated body-anchored verbs that share the properties mentioned above.

Anger is one of expressive acts that reflect the emotions. Anger sometimes involve cultural aspect which may cause problems in the translation. This study concerns with the comparison of translation techniques applied by students translator in translating Fight Club a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk. This research attempts to compare the translation techniques used to translate anger expression from the novel from English to Indonesian by individual and case method collaboratively. This study used translation assignment to collect data and document analysis in data analysis. The results shows that individually, the translators mostly applied various techniques that tend to target language, such as, adaptation, neutralization, established equivalence, and reduction. Translations made by team are better than individual translation as they have more consideration. These findings also indicate that expressive language that showing emotion of characters in the novel dominantly translated by using domestication ideology to anticipate cultural problems.
