Main Article Content
Abstract:
Corpus evidence shows that English encodes emotional granularity through a dense network of near‑synonyms, each occupying slightly different semantic and pragmatic space. For example, sadness can be expressed as sad, upset, miserable, heartbroken, devastated, or down, with each word reflecting intensity, duration, or cause. Anger ranges from annoyed and irritated to furious and outraged, while happiness includes happy, joyful, delighted, thrilled, and content.
