Abstract

This study investigates anger expressions derived from motion verbs fly, go, and jump. To shed new light on motion elements that have not been highlighted earlier, effort components that describe the qualitative aspect of movement and express a person''s inner attitude toward movement in LMA(Laban Movement Analysis) are used. The following issues are discussed. First, three verbs share the characteristic of sudden/fast movement in their basic meanings and this evokes the meaning extension such as sudden and unexpected changes. Second, three verbs are often used with prepositional phrases including information about direct attention to the destinations. Lastly, strong motions that require more body energy with intention are associated with anger expressions. An alternative viewpoint trying to understand anger emotion in active approach motivational system is also proposed.
