Abstract
This paper examines the influence of emotions on language comprehension from a semantic standpoint. It proposes that language has an impact on the regulation and expression of emotions, while emotions also affect language. Specifically, it suggests that emotions primarily have negative effects on the interpretation and importance of language in various contexts among diverse individuals. The paper adopts Ko¨vecses' (2004) approach for linguistic lexical analysis of emotional words and categories in language. It applies this methodology to analyze two songs by male and female singers in the modern era. According to the affect-as-information theory and appraisal theory, it is determined that emotions can change the meaning of any language produced by human cognition. Language can express emotions through a range of words, symbols, and representations that relate to emotional context, gender distinctions, and the natural environment.
