“…However, even though studies in both emotion psychology and linguistic research have shown that language plays an important role in conceptualising and understanding emotions (see Niemeier & Dirven, 1997;Fussel, 2002;Gendron, 2012), only very few studies have focused on a linguistic analysis of emotion terms (e.g. Halliday, 1998;Weigand, 2004;Bednarek, 2008;Romano et al, 2013), let alone the emotion anger. Consequently, it is necessary and worthwhile to analyse emotional or affective expressions from a linguistic perspective, which could contribute to bettering our understanding of emotions and further assisting emotion regulation.…”

This study explores how the emotion anger is construed through language patterns and what are the causes of the emotion anger from a corpus linguistic perspective. It is demonstrated that grammar patterns are frequently used to construe emotions; and grammar patterns inform us the trigger of a specific emotion. It is then illustrated that the emotion anger is elicited by (physical or verbal) behaviour, (natural/abstract) phenomenon, mental state, and text, which would offer insights into emotion regulation. What is highlighted, most importantly, is that linguistic analysis of affective expressions is complementary to emotion research conducted from psychological perspective.

“… 3 Meta-narratives are also termed grand narratives (Lyotard, 1984), frames (Fligstein, Brundage, and Schultz, 2017), narrative templates (Wertsch, 2008), generic space (Romano, Porto, and Molina, 2013: 85), or deep stories (Hochschild, 2016; Polletta and Callahan, 2017). …”

Narrating Institutional Logics into Effect: Coherence Across Cognitive, Political, and Emotional Elements

Through an ethnographic study of decision making in a rape crisis center, I explore how institutional logics come to be through interactions. Zooming in on storytelling interactions and slowing down to follow their evolution, I find that collective cognitive, political, and emotional elements mediated the narration of logics into effect. While the interactions unfolded within a space of possibilities determined by logics, co-narrators still put much cognitive effort into negotiating which logic was relevant and how it implicated specific ways of understanding and responding to events. Narrators’ subject positions and their perceived interests and emotions also mediated the work of logics on the ground. Decisions were determined by degrees of coherence across these cognitive, political, and emotional elements. When there was high or moderate coherence, the decision followed the resolution implied by the narration. When coherence was low, decision makers rejected the decision implied by the narration. Coherence, then, constrained people’s agency to invoke institutional logic. These results offer compelling new theory about how institutional logics work: logics are neither deterministic nor freely manipulated but instantiated through collective and situated dynamics that set limits on their strategic use.

“…The last chapter, by Rodríguez Redondo, analyses gesture structuring strategies in autobiographical narratives, also contrasting Spanish and English data. Her study is based on recent perspectives on the conceptual segmentation of oral emotional narratives (Romano & Porto, 2010; Romano, Porto, & Molina, 2013), and the development of cognitive gesture studies (McNeill, 1992, among others). However, her main purpose is to obtain upgraded tools focusing on gestures as meaning-making helpers through a given discourse.…”

Following recent demands in the fields of cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis, both individually and in a collective approach, this volume gathers different works focused on the interaction between discourse, cognition, and society. Romano and Porto's volume starts from the premises which take a common approach to language (language-in-use), viewing it as a changing and dynamic process of interaction in real discourse. They advocate for a change in the trends of cognitive linguistics in favour of studies which are empirically and statistically supported. All the chapters included in this volume study discourse strategies from a socio-cognitive perspective in very different scopes, applying and combining several theories and approaches shedding light onto this new trend or somehow different approach to sociocognitivism and discourse. The volume is divided into three sections, each one with a different, yet sometimes overlapping, focus of research. The first three chapters, written by Enrique Bernárdez, Eline Zenner et al., and Augusto Soares da Silva, focus on real case-studies in context, emphasizing the necessity of a situated analysis of discourse. The second part contains three chapters as well, by
