Description:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
This seminar will explore some of the different ways Cognitive Linguistics in general (and Socio-historical Cognitive Linguistics in particular) can benefit from the development and use of such computational tools as multimodal corpora and data-bases.<\/div>\n
The focus will be on the vocabulary for a variety of emotional experiences, as recorded in Anglo-Saxon (850-1150 A. D.) texts.<\/div>\n
The approach to this vocabulary is based on the identification and analysis of historical processes of semantic change, with special attention to processes of metaphorization and metonymization.<\/div>\n
Both metaphor and metonymy are considered here powerful mechanisms of semantic change.<\/div>\n
Furthermore, metaphor and metonymy illustrate different degrees of figurativeness, from literal to metaphoric.<\/div>\n
This semantic continuum is, in my view, a reflect of the folk psychologies generated and promoted within each culture and historical period.<\/div>\n
Moreover, the figurative expressions developed by each emotional community open new windows into past beliefs, morals and, specially, imagination.<\/div>\n
From a computational linguistic perspective, this ongoing research is benefitting from a series of tools developed in cooperation with ILC (Pisa).<\/div>\n
To start with, in the two-year period 2015-2016, I created a cognitively annotated corpus of Anglo-Saxon texts and images.<\/div>\n
Based on this corpus, during the year 2016 I built a data-base of Old English emotional expressions, that I will describe in the second part of this presentation.<\/div>\n
Finally, thanks to a second research stay at ILC (Winter-Spring 2019), we have started to work on such things as the representation of etymology and lexical-semantic change in TEI and the potential development of future cognitively annotated tools (such as online glossaries).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Speaker<\/strong>: Javier E. D\u00ecaz-Vera<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
He is a Full Professor in English Historical Linguistics and Sociolinguistics at the Department of Modern Languages of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM, Spain).<\/div>\n
His research focuses on the study of conceptual metaphor and metonymy from a variationist perspective, including historical, sociolinguistic and dialectal approaches.<\/div>\n
He has published a wide variety of papers and book chapters on the multimodal expression of emotions, cognition and sensorial perception in historical varieties of English, with special attention to Old English.<\/div>\n
His recent research focuses on the comparison between linguistic and visual representations of emotions in Anglo-Saxon texts and visual narratives.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
