| Abstract | The three papers explore aspects of emotion in Old and Middle English, partly from a literary and cultural, and partly from a linguistic point of view. L. Sikorska investigates representations of, and reactions to anger in the Middle English romance Robert of Cisyle, and looks at its relation to the medieval didactic tradition. M. Ogura analyses the verbs of emotion in Old and Middle English with regard to meaning, etymology, frequency, synonymy etc. H. Sauer deals with the vocabulary of emotion and gestures in the earliest English texts, particularly the Epinal-Erfurt Glossary (archetype c. 680-690), covering nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and comparing the Old English glosses with their Latin lemmata. |
