In this chapter I discuss the results of the analysis of the emotion profiles of the registers of academic discourse, conversation, fiction and news reportage with respect to lexical, part-of-speech (POS) and syntactic variation concerning emotion terms. I use the term emotion profiting to refer to the process of investigating these frequency profiles. As mentioned in Section 1.6.3, this is based on a combination of automated computer analysis (using the Zurich BNCweb interface at http://escorp.unizh.ch/) and careful manual scrutiny of the data. It must also be emphasized that the research reported in this chapter is more corpus-based than corpus-driven, in Tognini-Bonelli’s (2001) terms.
