Abstract
In this paper, we study the expression of emotions in speech that result in subtext in the content of discourse. We differentiate between concepts of “personal subtext” and “discourse subtext” as a complex conclusion of the causes that are at the core of speech and evoke emotions and feelings as well.
The reasons for “personal subtext” emerge irrespective of a person. “Discourse subtext” directly expresses “personal subtext.” Consequently, by analyzing the fiction material in the paper, we try to decode the implied meanings that occur when “personal subtext” turns into “discourse subtext” in speech. By examining the factual material in practice, we can note that “discourse subtext” is the intentional implication of the ideological objectives of the speaker, as each of us knows what we want to say and is keen on conveying the planned message to the speaker. If the same sentence is pronounced with different “discourse subtexts,” its implicit meaning will be different.
In this paper, we also study different types of negative emotions with the variety of their expressions and substantiate their usage with the examples of fiction: sadness (sadness, concern, conscience, desperation, despondence, offense), anger (anger, dissatisfaction, difference), fear (fear/anxiety, suspicion/mistrust), hate/dislike (hate, indifference, boredom, disgust), shame (shame, regret, repentance).
The emotions and mental state that lead a person to express implicit meaning indirectly are also taken into consideration.
Keywords: Subtext, intentional implicitness, deliberation/intention, “personal subtext”, “discourse subtext”, emotions and feelings, implied meaning.
