Summary/Abstract: The ability to talk about emotions is one of the conditions of successful communication. This ability is determined by culture, therefore in order to talk about emotions in a foreign language we need a model. Cultural scripts can serve as such a model. The reconstruction of these scripts can be done through questionnaires and interviews among native speakers.
