This book explains the emotion concepts of the Ibans, one of the
indigenous peoples in Sarawak, Malaysia. It is an outcome of a
research study, which aims to analyse the Iban emotion concepts
utilizing Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), an analytical tool
developed by Anna Wierzbicka (1991), and the concrete/abstract
cultural continuum framework, a framework introduced by J. Vin
D'Cruz and G. Tham (1993), and later, J. Vin D'Cruz and William
Steele (2000). NSM enables emotion terminologies in Iban to be
explicated and further defined along the concrete/abstract cultural
continuum framework. The respondents of this study were the village
community of Sbangki Panjai, a longhouse located in Lubok Antu,
Sarawak. The findings reveal the core cultural values that underlie
the people's behaviours in the ways they express their emotions.
The complex 'rules of logic' called "adat" and the rules of
speaking in this speech community are discussed in detail in this
book, which explain the Ibans' communicative behaviours. Although
the semantic analysis of the emotion words is exhaustive and
comprehensive, it is necessary in order to reveal the complete
meaning of the emotions being examined without creating
ethnocentric bias. Thus, this book essentially describes how the
Ibans relate themselves to others in their interaction.
