On the one hand, we can interpret it as a non-basic, non-prototypical, or culture-specific notion, on the other - and this is the interpretation we propose in this work - a complex emotion concept can be looked upon as a concept whose complexity \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eemerges\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         in interaction, due to the complex nature of its \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eobject\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                        .

It is a cognitive linguistic endeavor in which we analyze grammatical category mismatches and provide detailed semantic analyses of different complement choices of emotion predicates. We also discuss insights into Polish and English cultural values gleaned from the different underlying categorizations of emotions. \n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eCombining theoretical analyses with pedagogical theory and classroom applications, this work breaks new ground and will reach audiences of linguists, teachers and students of Polish, teachers and students of English, translators, and other language researchers and practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783110227741\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Contrastive Corpus-Based Study\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783110227741","offer_id":560125870086,"sku":"9783110227741","price":179.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/26648bd4-199c-4e01-979f-63fa661f2a47.jpg?v=1778041635","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/complex-emotions-and-grammatical-mismatches-a-contrastive-corpus-based-study-von-katarzyna-dziwirek-barbara-lewandowska-tomaszczyk","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
