This volume presents nine chapters dealing with emotionally loaded morphology over four continents. The collection is the result of a workshop on “morphology and emotions” (MorphEm) held by the first author at Dynamique du Langage (CNRS) in Lyon on 29–30 April 2015. In this introduction, we first discuss our definitions of the terms “emotions”, “morphology”, and the intersection between the two ( Section 1 ). In Section 2 , we contextualize the study of the morphological encoding of emotions within semantic typology and semantic ecology, and spell out some of the cross-linguistic generalizations that can be made about the morphological encoding of emotions on the basis of the contributions in this volume. In Section 3 , we summarize the findings of the volume on the more specific topic of evaluative morphology, the most widespread type of emotionally loaded morphology. Finally, Section 4 offers a chapter-by-chapter outline of the volume.

介绍

本卷共分九章，涉及四大洲的情绪负荷形态。该系列是第一作者于 2015 年 4 月 29 日至 30 日在里昂 Dynamique du Langage (CNRS) 举办的“形态学和情感”(MorphEm) 研讨会的成果。在本介绍中，我们首先讨论我们对术语的定义“情感”、“形态”以及两者的交集（第 1 节）。在第 2 节中，我们将语义类型学和语义生态学中情感形态编码的研究置于语境中，并在本卷贡献的基础上阐明了关于情感形态编码的一些跨语言概括。 . 在第 3 节中，我们总结了该卷关于评估形态学的更具体主题的发现，最普遍的情绪负荷形态。最后，第 4 节提供了该卷的逐章大纲。
