In coursebooks on German phonetics and phonology the role of prosodic units in the representation of emotional states is presented insufficiently. The monograph “Prosodie und Emotionen” by Roland Kehrein (2002) can be used in GFL lessons as a basis for the analysis and recognition of prosodic phenomena with regard to expression of emotions. This interdisciplinary investigation in the intersection of emotion psychology and prosody gives students the opportunity to familiarize with relevant aspects from both areas. The article presents selected aspects important for the GFL teaching. In the field of emotion research, students get acquainted with emotions as three-sided phenomena (feeling/experience, neuro-psychological reactions, motor-expressive behavior). Furthermore, two approaches to the classification of emotions are analyzed: the categorical and the dimensional use. For the description of emotional utterances dimensional emotion analysis is of great importance. Accordingly, three dimensions – valence, activation and dominance – and the quality: ‘(non-) expectability’ are taken into account. From the field of prosody, students learn the systematic prosody model of German developed by Kehrein, in which the prosodic units with primarily linguistically relevant (syntactic, information-structuring and communication-organizing) functions are described. This model is compared with the classifications presented in traditional prosody research (Trubetzkoy, von Essen). Prosodic units with primarily emotional meanings can be analyzed on that basis. Applying the identified emotion-relevant prosodic units by Kehrein can contribute to the reproduction of emotional qualities as well as to the correct decoding of emotionally charged speech acts in foreign language teaching. Since there are no prosodic patterns for individual emotions, components of meaning are to be analyzed in order to enable casual speech behavior and the reproduction of emotions.

Badacze emocji zwierząt pozaludzkich mają tendencję do obrony niektórych form antropomorfizmu i szukają sposobów na uczynienie go bardziej krytycznym, samoświadomym i użytecznym dla celów naukowych. Proponuję, że aby osiągnąć ten cel, musimy najpierw przeprowadzić kantowskie badanie głębszej struktury antropomorfizmu. Twierdzę, że możemy wyróżnić co najmniej trzy poziomy antropomorfizacji: poziom narracyjny, poziom poznawczy i poziom pośredni, metateoretyczny, który jest głębszą strukturą określającą sposób, w jaki antropomorfizujemy. Ponieważ obecna debata zazwyczaj skupia się wyłącznie albo na poziomie narracyjnym, albo na poziomie poznawczym, niniejszy artykuł koncentruje się na poziomie metateoretycznym, omawia jego rolę w badaniach nad emocjami, możliwe błędy, które może powodować, oraz sposób, w jaki możemy nad nim pracować, opierając się na teoriach emocji opartych na przetwarzaniu predykcyjnym i podejściu ewolucyjnym. Kluczem do krytycznego podejścia do antropomorfizmu jest świadomość złożoności całej tej struktury, a także umiejętność kwestionowania i podawania w wątpliwość wszystkich jej elementów.

Researchers of non-human animal emotions tend to defend some forms of anthropomorphism and seek ways to make it more critical, self-aware, and useful for scientific purposes. I propose that to achieve this goal, we need first to conduct a Kantian investigation into the deeper structure of anthropomorphism. I argue that we can distinguish at least three levels of anthropomorphising: a narrative level, a cognitive level and an in-between, metatheoretical level which is the deeper structure determining how we anthropomorphise. Because the current debate tends to focus either on the narrative level or on the cognitive level, this paper concentrates on the metatheoretical level, discusses its role in emotion research, the possible errors it may cause, and how we can work on it, drawing on predictive processing-based theories of emotions and an evolutionary approach. The key to being critical in anthropomorphism is to be aware of the complexity of this whole structure, as well as to be able to challenge and put into question all and any of its elements.
