This Handbook brings together a wide range of cases, authors, and disciplinary approaches to a topic of great importance. The chapters variously consider major issues such as how the notions of language and emotion have been understood in different times and places, how they are bound up with norms and values, and how they are linked to conceptions of body, reason, self, and society. The collection's many strong contributions outline the state of the art on this topic and make the volume an indispensable aid to scholars and students alike. Judith Irvine, University of Michigan, USA The Routledge Handbook of Language and Emotion offers an impressive multitude of perspectives on the intersection of emotion, language, culture and self. In this handbook, leading scholars from various strands of humanities and social sciences paint fascinating pictures of the historical, cultural and situational variation of emotional practices.

This timely collection of original essays showcases innovative research that explores the multiplicity of ways emotion permeates verbal, nonverbal and visual communicative resources throughout the life cycle and across genres in often surprising ways. Drawing on a range of generative theoretical and methodological frameworks and investigating interdisciplinary connections, these intelligently curated essays highlight the centrality of systematically investigating situated practices and their linguistic and cultural ideologies as key to understanding commonalities and variations across persons, activities, and communities, and the sociohistorical, political, and interpersonal consequences of these patterns. Read them, and be inspired. Bambi B Schieffelin, New York University, USA This Handbook brings together a wide range of cases, authors, and disciplinary approaches to a topic of great importance.
