Summary/Abstract: The article provides a brief overview of the description and definition of emotions in various types of science, i.e. psychology, neurobiology, linguistics with a particular emphasis on anthropological linguistics. Cultural scripts postulated in research on emotional expressions in various languages are used to show the participation of cultural norms in the expression of feelings and their linguistic indicators. Formulated with the use of elementary units, they become not only a scientific method but also a very useful tool in teaching Polish as a foreign language, as evidenced by opinions of glottodidactics experts. It is postulated that teachers working in schools with students who have experienced an act of migration should take into account the emotional aspect both in terms of experience and language.
