It has long been received wisdom in semantics and pragmatics that
'the head' and 'the heart' are two opposing forces, a view that has
led scholars, until now, to explore the mental processes behind
cognition, and the mental processes behind emotion, as two separate
entities. This bold, innovative book challenges this view, and
provides an original study of how we communicate our emotions
through language, drawing on both pragmatic theory and affective
science. It begins with the assumption that emotional or expressive
meaning plays such a central role in human interaction that any
pragmatic theory worth its salt must account for it. It meets the
associated challenges head-on and strives to integrate affect
within one theory of utterance interpretation, showing that
emotional meaning and rationality/reasoning can be analysed within
one framework. Written in a clear and concise style, it is
essential reading for anyone interested in communication and
emotion.
