Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of pragmatics is typically concerned with ostensive communication (especially through language), in which we not only provide evidence for our intended speaker meaning, but also make manifest our intention to do so. This is not, however, the only way in which humans communicate. We also communicate in many non-ostensive ways, and these expressions often interplay with and complement ostensive communication. For example, fear, embarrassment, surprise and other emotions are often expressed with linguistic expressions, which they complement through changes in prosodic cues, facial and bodily muscular configuration, pupil dilatation and skin colouration, among others. However, some basic but important questions about non-ostensive communication, in particular those concerned with evolutionary stability, are unaddressed. Our objective is to address, albeit tentatively, this issue, focusing our discussion on one particular class of non-ostensive communication: emotional expressions. We argue that existing solutions to the problem of stability of emotional communication are problematic and we suggest introducing a new class of mechanisms -- mechanisms of emotional vigilance -- that, we think, more adequately accounts for the stability of emotional communication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's major work of evolutionary theory. The book concerns the biological aspects of emotional life, and Darwin explores the animal origins of such human characteristics as the lifting of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and the mental confusion which typically accompanies blushing. Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their origins in animal behavior, and allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in the shaping of expression. This biological emphasis leads to a concentration on six emotional states: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust.It also leads to an appreciation of the universal nature of expression, with its implication of a single origin for the entire human species; and Darwin points to the importance of emotional communication with children in their psychological development._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the aggressive barking of a pet dog, and the longing meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive. Are there universal principles governing our own communication system? Can we even see how close animals are related to us by constructing an evolutionary tree based on similarities and dissimilarities in acoustic signaling? Research on the role of emotions in acoustic communication and its evolution has often been neglected, despite its obvious role in our daily life. When we infect others with our laugh, soothe a crying baby with a lullaby, or get goose bumps listening to classical music, we are barely aware of the complex processes upon which this behavior is based. It is not facial expressions or body language that are affecting us, but sound. They are present in music and speech as "emotional prosody" and allow us to communicate not only verbally but also emotionally. This groundbreaking book presents a thorough exploration into how acoustically conveyed emotions are generated and processed in both animals and man. It is the first volume to bridge the gap between research in the acoustic communication of emotions in humans with those in animals, using a comparative approach. With the communication of emotions being an important research topic for a range of scientific fields, this book is valuable for those in the fields of animal behaviour, anthropology, evolutionary biology, human psychology, linguistics, musicology, and neurology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals by Charles Darwin: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is a scientific work by Charles Darwin that examines the expression of emotions in humans and animals. Published in 1872, the book explores the evolutionary origins and universality of facial expressions, providing insights into the communication of emotions across species and shedding light on the nature of human emotions. Key Aspects of the Book "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals": Evolutionary Perspective: The book applies an evolutionary framework to the study of emotions, considering their adaptive value and tracing their origins across different species. Facial Expressions: Darwin's detailed analysis of facial expressions and their connection to specific emotions offers valuable insights into the universality and nonverbal communication of emotions. Psychology and Ethology: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals bridges the fields of psychology and ethology, contributing to our understanding of emotions and their expression in both humans and animals. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his theory of evolution and his book On the Origin of Species. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals represents Darwin's exploration of the intersection between biology, psychology, and animal behavior, highlighting his multidisciplinary approach to scientific inquiry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the evolution of emotions dates back to the 19th century and has come to be known as "sensusology." Evolution and natural selection has been applied to the study of human communication, mainly by Charles Darwin in his 1872 work, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Darwin researched the expression of emotions in an effort to support his theory of evolution. He proposed that much like other traits found in animals, emotions also evolved and were adapted over time. His work looked at not only facial expressions in animals and specifically humans, but attempted to point out parallels between behaviors in humans and other animals. According to modern evolutionary theory, different emotions evolved at different times. Primal emotions, such as fear, are associated with ancient parts of the brain and presumably evolved among our premammal ancestors. Filial emotions, such as a human mother's love for her offspring, seem to have evolved among early mammals. Social emotions, such as guilt and pride, evolved among social primates. Sometimes, a more recently evolved part of the brain moderates an older part of the brain, such as when the cortex moderates the amygdala's fear response. Evolutionary psychologists consider human emotions to be best adapted to the life our ancestors led in nomadic foraging bands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals by Charles Darwin The expression of emotions in man and animals is the third major work in the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin, after the origin of species (1859) and The origin of man (1871). Initially conceived as a chapter in The Descent of Man, The Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. This book deals with the biological aspects of emotional life, and Darwin explores the animal origins of human characteristics such as the rising of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and mental confusion that typically accompanies blush. A German translation of The Expression appeared in 1872; The Dutch and French versions followed in 1873 and 1874. A second edition of the book, with only minor modifications, was published in 1890. Since its first publication, The Expression has never been out of print, but has also been described as Darwin's "masterpiece. forgotten ". Before Darwin, human emotional life had posed problems for the Western philosophical categories of mind and body. Darwin's interest dates back to his time as a medical student and Sir Charles Bell's 1824 edition of Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression, which advocated a spiritual dimension to the subject. In contrast, Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their origins in animal behavior and allows cultural factors to play only an auxiliary role in shaping expression. This biological emphasis leads to a concentration on six emotional states: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust. It also leads to an appreciation of the universal character of the expression, with its implication of a single origin for the entire human species; and Darwin points out the importance of emotional communication with children in their psychological development. Darwin sought the opinions of some of the leading British psychiatrists, notably James Crichton-Browne, in preparing the book which constitutes his main contribution to psychology. Among the innovations of this book is the distribution of a questionnaire by Darwin (probably inspired by his cousin, Francis Galton) during his preparatory research; simple psychology experiments on emotion recognition with his friends and family; and (borrowing from Duchenne de Boulogne, physician de la Salpêtrière) the use of photography in his presentation of scientific information. Publisher John Murray warned Darwin that including the photographs would "put a hole in the profit" of the book, and Expression of Emotions is an important milestone in the history of book illustration.

A novel approach to understanding personality, based on evidence that we share more than we realize with other mammals. This book presents the wealth of scientific evidence that our personality emerges from evolved primary emotions shared by all mammals. Yes, your dog feels love—and many other things too. These subcortically generated emotions bias our actions, alter our perceptions, guide our learning, provide the basis for our thoughts and memories, and become regulated over the course of our lives. Understanding personality development from the perspective of mammals is a groundbreaking approach, and one that sheds new light on the ways in which we as humans respond to life events, both good and bad. Jaak Panksepp, famous for discovering laughter in rats and for creating the field of affective neuroscience, died in April 2017. This book forms part of his lasting legacy and impact on a wide range of scientific and humanistic disciplines. It will be essential reading for anyone trying to understand how we act in the world, and the world’s impact on us.
