The notion of fear in linguistics
Abstract
Fear is a fundamental human emotion that has been extensively studied in psychology and neuroscience. However, its impact on language and communication is equally significant. Linguistics examines how fear is expressed, shaped, and transmitted through language, revealing insights into human cognition, culture, and social structures. This article explores the linguistic dimensions of fear, including its lexical representation, metaphorical use, syntactic patterns, discourse functions, and cross-linguistic variations.
