THE VOCABULARY OF EMOTION A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF ANGER IN GERMAN, ENGLISH, AND ITALIAN EDDA WEIGAND University of Münster On the basis of the contrastive pragmatic model of lexical semantics de-scribed in the article on "Contrastive Lexical Semantics" above, I will analyse as a first example the predicative field of EMOTION and demonstrate in the case of ANGER in German, Italian, and English how the methodology works in detail. The analysis is divided into three parts: first a short overview of the literature, second the description of the universal structure and, third, the ways-of-use in the individual languages. In the subsequent articles by Schmitt, Dem'jankov, and Westheide the analysis is applied to other languages. 1. Overview of the literature After having for a long time been excluded from linguistics in a narrow sense, emotions have, in the last few years, been the topic of increased interest. We have here to differentiate between two questions; first, the question in the area of dialogue analysis: how do emotions influence the course of the dialogue? Second, in the area of lexis, the question: how do we express emotions? or: how do we predicate in the area of feelings, on which our contrastive analysis is based? The article by Schwarz & Ziegler (1996) in the journal "Lexicology" gives a survey of the research on emotions in linguistics and psychology. From this it becomes clear that almost all the work here deals with the central question regarding a structuring of the whole area of emotions, based on the assumption that there are basic emotions. It also becomes clear that there is no agreement in the literature on this matter, that the individual
