Negative Emotions as Obstacle to Mutual Understanding of the Interlocutors in Dialogical Discourse.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of emotional states arising in the process of intense (conflict) communication or contributing to it. On the example of disgust as one of the emotions of the CAD Triad Hypothesis, the essence, psychological and physiological signs and reasons for the appearance of dislike for the interlocutor are established; a prototypical scenario of development, as well as verbal and non-verbal displays of disgust are described; the significance of this emotion in society and its influence on the speakers’ relationship in discourse are explored. Thus, disgust is a negative emotional reaction to things that have decomposed in physical/psychological sense. Its essence lies in the rejection of the object of disgust (either an interlocutor or a speaker himself/herself) which causes the speaker to feel dislike, antipathy and a strong desire to get rid of such an unpleasant feeling. Combined with the emotions of strong aggressive potential (such as anger, indignation, hatred, etc.) disgust can provoke a conflict situation where a speaker prefers to get rid of the object of emotion in the form of physical violence (destruction). Out of touch with negative emotions, disgust, as a rule, does not create tension between communicative partners; so a speaker just avoids contact with an unpleasant interlocutor. In discourse, disgust is expressed by verbal and non-verbal means, especially adjectives, exclamations and lexemes to denote mimic expressions of disgust emotion.
