Abstract
The paper discusses one area of the emotion lexicon in Danish and English, that is, a set of terms within the domain of ‘shame'/ ‘embarrassment’. This set constitutes a folk taxonomy, the internal relationships between these terms being a matter for empirical investigation. The paper uses a methodology which seeks to make semantic relationships explicit and easily comparable, that of Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM). English and Danish terms are discussed in turn, and comparisons drawn between them.
