Can I grasp hygge if Polish lacks the term? The (un)translatability of emotions in foreign language teaching

Summary/Abstract: The nature of emotions has long preoccupied psychologists, psychiatrists, linguists, neurobiologists, and many other researchers. It is difficult to imagine life without emotion. Recently, individuals have started to invest time and energy in ensuring their emotional stability and happiness. Despite increased interests in addressing and understanding emotions, many questions remain. This article explores the linguistic-cultural implications of learning the emotional language in Polish. It examines the associations between cultural contexts and specific language choices and uses during given emotional situations in different languages. The investigation will consider the history of emotions, cultural scripts, as well as the cultural surpluses contained within respective lexemes. Included are various exercises that can be used in classes for foreign language learners and candidates for Polish teachers.
