Emotionen in sprachlichen Repräsentationen und Prozessen
Emotions in language representations and processes

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to draw attention to the role of emotions in the shaping of linguistic ability in an individual, which is understood comprehensively as human verbal behavior in its entirety. Emotions as mental processes, which are to a large extent subconscious and automatized, are present in cognitive processes, including linguistic ones: language acquisition, production and speech comprehension. Emotions can trigger these processes, accompany them, be their results; emotions can also hinder and block these processes. Therefore emotionality can be conceived of as an aspect of human verbal behavior which is as vital as cognition.
