ABSTRACT
This chapter adds to the evidence that neither of the first two viewpoints is acceptable and will argue against any strong constructivist view of emotions. It also wants to expand on author`s argument, already emphasized in this book, that if the authors want to understand a particular culture, their behaviour, thought, and meaning systems, they have to look closely at people’s indigenous concepts. The chapter gives of emotion terms within detailed specific contexts to show how Lohorung talk about emotions, and to show how Lohorung concepts can help us understand Lohorung behaviour and institutions. So, to summarize the main features of anger, they seen that Lohorung understanding of the emotion is intimately bound up with their experience of the ancestors. The rules anger have little to do with the form of its expression. The rules have to do with the appropriateness of its display and this is connected with the attitudes of respect expected between certain categories of kin.
