{"product_id":"9783825363598","title":"Words for Feelings: Studies in the History of the English Emotion Lexicon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe papers and articles united in this volume analyse the use of a selection of lexemes designating emotions in the history of English from Anglo-Saxon times to Late Modern English. An Introduction gives an account of the emotions in modern psychology and of the contribution of Historical Semantics to our understanding of their origins. A number of chapters discriminate the meanings of near-synonyms such as 'wrath'\/'anger'\/'tene' or 'joy'\/'bliss'\/'mirth'. Other chapters trace the emergence and demise of superordinate categories like 'mood', 'passion', and 'emotion'. The analyses are largely based on closed computer-readable collections as they are accessible for Old, Middle, and Modern English. The more recent chapters aim at a balanced consideration of literary and non-literary genres and use a personal selection from more comprehensive repositories like 'Gutenberg', the 'Online Books Page', 'Google Books' and the 'Internet Archive'. To a large extent, that selection draws on traditional bibliographical tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universitatsverlag Winter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051658166512,"sku":"9783825363598","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783825363598_p0.jpg?v=1763685935","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783825363598","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
