Celem artykułu jest prezentacja podstaw metodologii badań nad znaczeniem pojęć wyrażających emocje i uczucia w aspekcie kontrastywnym oraz wskazania na źródła danych do badań na przykładzie języka polskiego i angielskiego w kontekście rzadziej stosowanych metod badawczych. Głównym założeniem pracy jest obecność znaczeń nie w pełni określonych w semantyce językowej oraz konieczność interpretacji znaczeń emotywnych w kognitywnych terminach znaczeń prototypowych z jednej strony i klasterów znaczeniowych z drugiej. Wymaga to sięgnięcia do kategorii językoznawstwa kognitywnego oraz kulturowych modeli uczuć i emocji oraz zdarzeń emotywnych. Wczęści metodologicznej pracy zaprezentowano źródła i badania danych ilościowych oraz, czerpiące z inspiracji językoznawstwa kognitywnego, badania jakościowe pojęć emotywnych i ich metaforyki (kwestionariusze GRID, zadania online sortowania i rankingu oraz badania korpusowe). Jako przykład omówiono angielskie pojęcie compassion w szerszym klasterze emotywnym oraz polskie pojęcie współczucie, jak też wzorce ich występowania w autentycznym materiale językowym. We wnioskach przedstawione są implikacje tak pojętych analiz interdyscyplinarnych, czerpiących z połączenia metodologii i źródeł badań psychologicznych, socjologicznych, kulturowych i językowych dla nowego podejścia w językowych badaniach kontrastywnych.

The aim of the paper is a presentation of methodological foundations of semantics of emotion concepts in contrastive linguistic analyses and identifying the sources of data in Polish and English obtained by less frequently used research methods. The main assumption is the presence of not fully determinate concepts in linguistic semantics and the need to interpret emotion concepts in terms of prototypical meanings and cluster models. This requires the application of cognitive linguistics categories and cultural models of emotions and emotion events. The methodological part demonstrates the qualitative and quantitative nature of sources and research (GRID, sorting and ranking, cognitive linguistic analysis of corpus data, metaphoricity). The examples analyzed in fuller detail are Eng. compassion and Pol. współczucie in their respective emotion clusters. The conclusions present implications of this interdisciplinary and multimethod approach to develop a new methodology of contrastive research in emotion studies.
