Emotion is one of these factors that has a crucial impact on language, including language learning and acquisition. In fact, a wide range of real-world actions that are shaped or urged by emotion can be connected to language and how words are used. And nowadays, thanks to modern technological developments, the study of language and texts from emotional and psychological lenses has become more sophisticated. The availability of numerous tools that allow for the analysis and classification of words into psychological and emotional categories helped linguists, educators, and psychologists investigate and reach encouraging and compelling conclusions about those interrelated elements and domains. The cutting-edge methods and approaches that form the basis of those tools have generated validated findings that strengthen these diverse, yet related fields because they can detect significant differences in a variety of experimental conditions, including attentional focus, emotionality, social interactions, thinking patterns, and individual differences.
Growing psychological research suggests that language's impact on emotions may go beyond what the public and academics initially thought. Overall, the work that will fill the pages of this special issue will draw from multidisciplinary domains that weigh in on the interaction between language and emotion in areas such as language learning and teaching, semantics, cross-linguistic emotional experience, emotion perception and language neural representation. It is hoped that by addressing these interconnected domains through linguistic and psychological lenses, future work in affective science will take an interesting new direction.
We welcome international contributions that draw on quantitative approaches, qualitative approaches, mixed methods approaches, and experimental approaches. This collection invites Original Research articles, General Commentaries, and Review Articles.
Topics included, but are not restricted to, the following:
-Attitudes;
-Negative feelings (anxiety, anger, fear…etc.);
-Game-based approaches;
-Technology: augmented reality;
-Emotional intelligence, language learning & teaching;
-Psychotherapy;
-Emotions and language learning and teaching;
-Sentiment Analysis;
-Emotion semantics;
-Language and media;
- fiction, poetry, drama, and any other literary genres
