Abstract
There are different approaches to the linguistic ways of expressing emotions from diverse linguistic disciplines (cognitive semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, etc.), but exhaustive analyses using inductive tools and based on a bottom-to-top perspective, deeply rooted in stepwise lexical decomposition, are scarce. The functional-lexematic model devised by Martín Mingorance will prove a very valuable method to understand the complex network of semantic, syntactic and pragmatic relations which affect adjectives expressing the key emotion of desire in the English language.
