Abstract
In many languages emotions are expressed by combining a verb with a body part noun, for example English My heart bleeds ‘I am sad’, and Choctaw Nok-libisa ‘have a hot neck’ > ‘be in a passion’.
This paper and its predecessors have been written at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, with a fellowship of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Science (KNAW). I would like to thank Geert Booij, Chuck Grimes, and Catharina van Klinen for their valuable comments on earlier drafts of this paper. Parts of this paper were presented on the 2000 Pan-Asiatic International Symposium on Languages and Linguistics in Ho Chi-Minh City,Vietnam, November 2000, and on the Workshop on Preverbs at Nijmegen University, January 2001. Would like to thank the audiences of both occasions for their input.
