  Expressions of emotions : description and interpretation

  Emotions are multimodal responses. They manifest themselves in experience, physiology and behaviour – e.g. in social interaction. Emotional behaviours include the so-called expressions of emotions. Now, expressions are directly accessible to others, in contrast to private experience and the greatest part of physiology. On the one hand, expressions can be seen as symptomatic signs of an organic state or as conventional signs embedded in social interactions. On the other hand, they can be interpreted as acts that transform the situation, doing, as it were, a work on it. Considered as signs or acts, expressions of emotions can be studied experimentally in the laboratory or naturalistically in the field, as well as through a variety of corpora made of texts, videos, films, etc.
