| Description | The paper deals with the etymology of selected names denoting human emotions in Slavic languages. The primary goal is to ascertain the motivation behind the chosen words from a diachronic perspective, followed by a comparison across Slavic languages in cases where the motivation differs. The primary motivation in this text is treated as one that can provide additional information about the concept itself. The names denoting basic human emotions include 'joy', 'happiness', 'sadness', 'fear', 'anger', and 'surprise'; additionally, the word for the secondary emotion 'love' is included. It was found that the original motivation behind these terms should be based on specific characteristics of the emotions they denote. For technical reasons, the article also contains an erratum, which refers to the bibliography and is available on the website of Slavica Iuvenum 2023: doi.org/10.15452/SlavicaIuvenum.XXIV.09.01 |
