How do Italian phraseological units convey emotional states

Italian phraseological units convey emotional states by using fixed expressions, idioms, and figurative language that encapsulate emotional and psychological experiences. These units often reflect the speaker’s inner feelings, mental states, or attitudes in a culturally rich and nuanced way. Italian phraseology includes idiomatic expressions that go beyond the literal meanings of their components to convey complex emotional states such as love, anger, joy, or sadness. The figurative nature of phraseological units in Italian enables expressive communication of emotions in an encapsulated and culturally resonant manner. These phraseological units may be part of spoken or written language and are an important aspect of language style and emotional expression in Italian culture.

Research suggests that Italian phraseological units, similar to other languages, serve as linguistic tools that verbalize and objectify emotional-evaluative states and psycho-emotional tones, thereby giving insight into the speaker’s emotional world. Moreover, Italian language resources also include assessments of emotional impact and expressive capacity in artistic and clinical settings.

In sum, Italian phraseological units function as culturally and linguistically specific markers of emotional states, using metaphorical and idiomatic language to reflect a wide spectrum of human emotions and inner psychological experiences. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
