"Across cultures, there is much similarity in the emotions people report experiencing, the events that trigger those emotions, and the subjective and physiological responses that accompany those emotions (Matsumoto & Hwang, 2013). Cultures differ, however, in how emotions are expressed, both verbally and nonverbally. A growing area of research focuses on lexicalized emotion, or how emotions are put into words (Ogarkova, 2013). One way that verbal expressions of emotion differ across cultures is the frequency with which somatic referents are used. Somatic referents are terms that express emotional states by referring to specific parts of the body. For example, emotion words used by the Hmong of Laos often refer to the liver, such as term tu siab, literally "broken liver" or sadness (Postert, Dannlowski, Millier, & Konrad, 2012). Many Persian emotion terms refer to the eye. For example, loving someone is expressed as "having place on one's eye" (Sharifian, 2011 ). In this activity you will investigate the frequency of somatic referents for emotion in your own language." (Goldstein, Susan, 2019).
