CONCLUSION<br />

This chapter I demonstrated the validity <strong>of</strong> the hypothesis that<br />

language is involved at all levels in the encoding <strong>of</strong> emotions and that there will not<br />

be a specific section in language which does not express emotion. To illustrate I<br />

showed how language can be used at the suprasegmental and the lexical level to<br />

encode emotive expressions. I in particular pointed out the crucial roles <strong>of</strong> vocative,<br />

main verbs and modal auxuiliary verbs in encoding intention and emotionality.<br />

In the next chapter I will show how humans dynamically use different speech<br />

acts to signal their intentions. I will also show which types <strong>of</strong> speech acts are used at<br />

particular phases <strong>of</strong>ongoing conflicts.<br />
