对情感变化的连贯解释必须在话语结构和规范实践之外找到一个动态的变化载体，这些话语结构和规范实践在情感研究中占据了民族志的注意力。但这种动力可以在情感表达的特征中找到。福柯的后结构主义理论中的“话语”概念或布迪厄、吉登斯等人的理论著作中的“实践”概念并没有很好地描述情感话语和情感姿态。这些概念并没有抓住情感话语和行为的双向特征，它们改变它们“所指”或“所代表”的独特能力-这种能力使它们既不是“陈述性”也不是“表演性”话语，而是完全是第三种类型的交际话语，这种话语从未得到充分的理论阐述。试图制定一个框架的情感话语，并将该框架应用到一些例子。
A coherent account of emotional change must find a dynamic, a vector of alteration, outside the discursive structures and normative practices that have monopolized ethnographic attention in research on affect. But this dynamic can be found in the very character of emotional expression. Emotion talk and emotional gestures are not well characterized by the notion of “discourse” derived from the poststructuralist theories of Foucault or by that of “practice” derived from the theoretical writings of Bourdieu, Giddens, and others. These concepts do not capture the two‐way character of emotional utterances and acts, their unique capacity to alter what they “refer” to or what they “represent”–‐a capacity which makes them neither “constative” nor “performative” utterances but a third type of communicative utterance entirely, one that has never received adequate theoretical formulation. An attempt is made to formulate a framework for emotional utterances, and the framework is applied to a number of examples.
