Emotions as abstract phenomena are not easy to verbalize. On the lexical level, they are most frequently thematized or expressed through imagery. The article aims at elucidating a rarely discussed problem of making emotions lingual employing sound phrasemes. Sounds and noises of animate as well as inanimate nature are in the centre of the cognitive explorations. The sounds and noises are metaphorically mapped on the abstract, hard-to-reach target domain of emotions. The analyses will be conducted on German and Polish phrasemes.

The insights and findings of the neurosciences and cognitive sciences in particular have brought new momentum to emotion research. The hitherto underestimated social contexts of emotions have become the focus of research interest. From this perspective, emotions are understood as the result of sociocultural imprinting. They are subject to the control of culture, which is revealed in sociologically conventional, prototypical emotional behaviour and in a corresponding mode of expression. If one defines emotions as an inner human state, they are assigned to the area of responsibility of psychology in the traditional classification of science. However, it is increasingly being recognized that a purely psychological approach to emotionality is insufficient. Only the inclusion of the basic paradigms of other disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, allows to grasp the complexity of this field of research. The article, which uses the inductive method, aims to identify the emotional schemata encoded in language, regulated in the course of socialization, containing the biological, mimic and behavioral interpretative signals, and to uncover the existing parallels in the manifestation of emotions IRRITATION and FEAR in German and Polish. The focus of the corpus-based analysis is on the semantic possibilities of reaction patterns that are distinctive for the emotions under investigation. In the paper, the phraseological units from the denotative domains IRRITATION and FEAR are discussed in relation to their sociocultural motivation. In doing so, both the supra-singular, in that phraseologisms of an international character are dealt with, and the singular, which is illustrated by means of the singular language-specific phrases, are expressed. The article is intended as a contribution to the discourse on the interdisciplinary approach to emotion research.

The Corona pandemic has dominated our lives for more than a year, profoundly affecting almost every facet of public as well as private life. The Corona crisis does not leave language untouched either, making it an extraordinarily broad, diverse and multidisciplinary field of research. Inspired by the current discussion on the corona pandemic, this article aims to make a linguistically oriented contribution to coronavirus investigation. The aim of the article is to show that corona language provides an efficient picture of the reality of life in pandemic times and at the same time helps to shape this reality. To this end, German-language online news reports from the period between mid-February 2019 and early November 2020 will be analysed with regard to the specific Corona lexis. First, the analysis focuses on the newly formed compound nouns. In the next step of the analysis, the corona vocabulary borrowed from English and the specialist terminology will be discussed. Selected occasional contaminations will also be examined. Furthermore, it is intended to address the connection between human mind and language by determining the cognitive image of coronavirus (pandemic) by means of the conceptual metaphors in the sense of Lakoff/Johnson (2014). Conceptual metaphors structure human thought and action and must be considered as an important means of knowing the world. The conceptual structure of coronavirus is reflected in the metaphorical expressions excerpted from online reports. The diversity of coronavirus metaphors reveals the complexity of the semantic structure of coronavirus. The research on corona language provides evidence that language as a living organism responds to the deep crises and (co-)creates the new corona world.
