Abstract
This paper analyses the use of prepositions in expressions of the six basic emotions in English and Croatian. A number of common expressions is given and analysed in terms of image schemas employed. The two languages mostly agree on the perception and the linguistic expression of emotions. Negative emotions are seen as more important, based on the variety of prepositions used to describe them; negative emotions are seen mostly as containers, while positive emotions are seen as companions. English and Croatian differ in the number of prepositions used (English uses a larger number) and the intensity of linguistic expressions (Croatian tends to be more direct, while English is more polite). Furthermore, this paper explores the metaphorical nature of expressions of emotions in the two languages. Emotions are perceived as interacting with speakers; due to their abstract nature, speakers use metaphorical stretching to place emotions in their world. Finally, a chapter is dedicated to the relationship between language and culture. Once again, English and Croatian mostly agree on their perception of basic emotions. The two languages share many similarities in the use of prepositions with emotions, similar metaphors are used to describe emotions, and the two cultures perceive and consequently express emotions similarly.
