Abstract

Non-native speakers of a language cannot decode emotionally conditioned meanings of stationary sentences without background knowledge. The interpretation of semantically independent expressions cannot be separated from culture. The discovery of universal emotions and the description of words and expressions related to the latter is a key to understanding cultures and societies.
