Karl G. Heider studies the cultural constructions of emotions,
examining how different cultures shape ideas and talk about
emotion. The main subjects of the study are the Minangkabau, a
matrilineal Moslem culture of three million people in West Sumatra,
Indonesia. Comparative data come from the Central Javanese, also of
Indonesia, and reference is made to studies of American emotions.
The Minangkabau have two different cultures of emotion, used
depending on whether they are speaking their own regional language
or the national language. And the Central Javanese have yet another
culture of emotion when they are speaking the same national
language. Cognitive maps of the emotion terms in each of the
languages show lexical proximity of terms, clusters of terms, and
relations between the clusters. Conclusions can be drawn about
lexical density, about code-switching, and about the use of a
national language by peoples with very different first languages.
