Abstract
Cross-cultural social scientists often find that their subject matter defies simple analyses; studies of Turkey are no exception. Turkey is at once Western and non-Western, “modern” and traditional; its culture and language are blends (often officially enforced) of outside influences and strong indigenous features. This complexity extends to emotion concepts within the Turkish language. Our chapter reports a systematic attempt to begin mapping Turkish emotion concepts: an attempt predicated on the prototype approach currently applied to analyses of seven emotion lexica worldwide, as detailed elsewhere in this volume (Smith & Tkel-Sbal).
