DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Veronika Jávor-Szelid\, Assistant Professor 
 at the Department of American Studies at the Eötvös Loránd University 
 Budapest\n\nANGER is a core human emotion that plays an important role in 
 social interaction and moral evaluation. Research in Cognitive Linguistics
  has shown that emotions are conceptualized through systematic patterns of
  metaphor and metonymy grounded in bodily experience and culturally shared
  knowledge. Integrating perspectives from Cognitive Linguistics and Cultur
 al Linguistics\, the study examines the moral and religious dimensions of 
 ANGER across languages. The analysis draws on a large-scale comparative st
 udy of metaphors and metonymies of ANGER in 25 languages from 11 language 
 families (Kövecses\, Benczes\, and Szelid\, 2025)\, combining lexical and
  corpus-based data. The results show that religious and moral interpretati
 ons of ANGER vary considerably across cultures. \n\nIn some traditions\, 
 ANGER is conceptualized as an evil force\, sin\, or demonic possession\, w
 hereas in others such framings are absent or marginal. Alongside these neg
 ative evaluations\, some traditions construe ANGER as divine or morally sa
 nctioned wrath\, associated with justice and moral authority\, highlightin
 g the role of culturally available conceptual resources in shaping emotion
 al meaning.\n\n
