The contributions included in the volume present a variety of approaches and research perspectives ranging from historical linguistics and ethnolinguistics to cultural-cognitive and discourse analysis. Each chapter develops a different topic discussing it in detail and from (what we believe to be) an original standpoint. Topic of the book are: the concept of fear among the Tupuri (Elisa Fiorio); the conceptualization of 'liver' in Dogon (Laura McPherson and Kirill Prokhorov) ; the reconstruction of emotions in ancient Africa (Kathryn de Luna); 'anger' in Akan (Gladys Nyarko Ansah); the role of Hausa ideophones in expressing emotional states (Sergio Baldi); the semantics and syntax of Igbo verbs of emotions (Maduabuchi Agbo); body and emotion in Wolof (Olivier Bondéelle); the construction of emotion in clinical encounters in Nigerian English Pidgin (Akin Odebunmi); 'love' encoding in Hausa (Gian Claudio Batic).
