This comprehensive volume offers a deep exploration of how language and emotion intersect across multiple disciplines, presenting cutting-edge research in communication theory, semiotics, linguistics, and cultural studies. The handbook's four major sections provide systematic coverage of emotion theories relevant to language research, including historical perspectives that ground current understanding of emotional communication.

Scholars and advanced students in linguistics, communication studies, and psychology will find this an indispensable resource for understanding the complex relationship between linguistic expression and emotional experience, making it essential reading for anyone serious about emotion research.
