抽象的情感概念，特别是快乐和愤怒，通常是隐喻分析的重点，但这项工作所基于的数据通常是主观的，分析是不系统的。使用映射隐喻数据，本章提供了一幅更全面的图景，说明说英语的人和写英语的人是如何利用隐喻来词汇化和概念化兴奋的。研究表明，围绕这一概念的一些隐喻由来已久，可以追溯到古英语(例如：成为兴奋的人)，而另一些隐喻则是后来出现的，与科学认识的发展有关(例如，通电、电压、兴奋/兴奋质量)。
Abstract emotion concepts, especially happiness and anger, have often been the focus of metaphor analysis, but the data on which this work is founded have typically been subjective and the analysis unsystematic. Using the Mapping Metaphor data, this chapter provides a fuller picture of how speakers and writers of English have drawn on metaphor to lexicalize and arguably also conceptualize excitement. It shows that some of the metaphors surrounding this concept are long-standing and can be traced back to Old English (e.g. æþmian, ‘become excited’), while others have emerged later, tied to developments in scientific understanding (e.g. electrification, voltage, ‘excitement/exciting quality’).
