Abstract

The aim of this work is to build and examine the structure of the negative axiological axis of the lexical field FEELING/SENTIMIENTO in English and Spanish. The importance of the lexical field which expresses feeling is key to human language. It is a basic premise that human perception is conditioned by our bodies (as stated by cognitive theories of Lakoff 1987 and Taylor 1989). The way those perceptions affect the cognitive being can be evaluated in a positive and in a negative manner. Thus, the part of a language vocabulary that lexicalizes the axiologic feeling perception is one of the main axes while trying to analyze the verbal lexical component in a language.
The lexical field FEELING/SENTIMIENTO holds a wide range of perceptions that the natural languages have been lexicalizing throughout time and which, as we will prove, have done differently, making this study relevant traductologically.
