The Semantic Dominance of Emotional Templates in Cognitive Structures

Abstract

Deep semantics explains how the use of natural language influences human behaviour in all its domains. As it turns out, the phonetic structure of each word root in any language symbolizes an abstract template. In a fully functional human being, this abstract template is subconsciously converted into a practical concrete template that can be used to manage a specific human function in a certain domain. Many such templates have been presented and discussed in the past for the domains of emotions, cognition, economics, and others. In this paper, the author will demonstrate that the manner in which emotional templates are utilized by a person his emotional choices determines how concrete templates are generated from word roots for cognitive functioning and for all other aspects of human behaviour and personal development.
