| summary | After presenting my research questions on the linguistic encoding of emotions, and the linguistic context of my research, I will illustrate my methodology with a case study on the lexicalization of fear in three languages: English, Dalabon and Barunga Kriol (northern Australia).
Dalabon is a severely threatened Australian language that is currently being replaced by Barunga Kriol, a variety of Australian creole. As an English-based creole, Barunga Kriol receives influences from English, as well as from Australian languages, including Dalabon. I will show to which extent Barunga Kriol resembles English with respect to the lexicalization of fear, to which extent it resembles Dalabon, or neither of them. I will then suggest explanations for the Barunga Kriol patterns of lexicalization. |
