Abstract
The aim of this dissertation is to analyze and explain expressions of anger in Croatian and (American) English. Language is a potent medium for expressing emotions. However, not all emotions are equally expressed and their expression is not equally understood. Expressing anger, which is usually analyzed and described as an uncomfortable, negative emotion carries certain social and cultural implications. The underlying assumption in this dissertation is that expressing anger carries more social and cultural regulations than expressing positive emotions. Expressing joy, happiness, satisfaction is generally favored and welcome, and will usually not present an obstacle in communication or be perceived as aggressive or threatening.
