This mixed method study is made up of a narrative study carried out with children and an interview study with practitioner psychologists. The narrative study examined the effects of narrative types, namely a picture book story, a first person narrative and a third person narrative, and age, 7, 9 and 11, on children's use of emotion descriptive words. The lengths of the three story types were used as covariates. A 3*3 ANCOVA was carried out showing that neither the tasks, nor the children’s age, have an effect on children's performance. However, the results show a significant, though small, interaction between age and story type effects when the covariates were jointly controlled for. The limited nature of significant findings is explained. A thematic analysis was carried out with the interview study data. This part of the study inquired about the experience and expectations of practitioner psychologists working therapeutically with children. The focus was mainly on the emotional expression of their young clients. Three main themes emerged including an adultomorphic tendency, developmental uniformity and the importance of a therapeutic relationship.

La communication des émotions s'effectue naturellement par le biais de différentes modalités, comme par exemple les expressions faciales et le toucher. L'informatique affective cherche à intégrer la composante émotionnelle dans les interactions homme-machine. Cependant, le toucher, qui est un puissant vecteur d'émotions, reste peu exploité. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier les paramètres qui influencent l'expression et la perception des émotions dans la modalité kinesthésique dans un contexte d'interaction homme-machine. Dans un premier temps, cette thèse considère l'expression kinesthésique liée à la perception physique de forces et de mouvements d'un ensemble d'émotions actées sémantiquement proches. Sur la base des résultats de cette première étude, un couplage des expressions kinesthésiques typiques de différentes émotions avec des expressions faciales exprimées par un avatar est proposé afin d'étudier l'influence de la modalité kinesthésique dans la perception d'une expression multimodale d’émotion. Enfin, cette thèse va au-delà de ces émotions actées en abordant dans une dernière étude le cas de l'expression et de la perception d'un état affectif de stress spontané. Ces différentes expérimentations ont considéré différents dispositifs matériels pour la communication kinesthésique : des dispositifs de type Geomagic Touch ainsi qu'un dispositif de rendu de pression développé spécifiquement dans le cadre de cette thèse. Les résultats de ces travaux ont de multiples applications pratiques. Premièrement, une meilleure intégration de la modalité kinesthésique en contexte virtuel, qu'il s'agisse de communication humain-humain à distance ou d'immersion dans les jeux vidéo. Cette thèse ouvre également la voie à la détection automatique d'états affectifs exprimés spontanément par la modalité kinesthésique. / The communication of emotions use several modalities of expression, as facial expressions or touch. The affective computing field aims to integrate an emotional component in human-computer interactions. Even though touch is an effective vector of emotions, is remains little explored. This thesis aims to investigate the kinesthetic features of the expression and perception of emotions in a human-computer interaction setting. Firstly, this thesis considers the kinesthetic expression and perception of semantically close and acted emotions. Secondly, this thesis proposes a facial-kinesthetic combination of expressions of several close emotions. This aims to investigate the influence of the kinesthetic modality on the multimodal perception of emotions. Finally, this thesis goes beyond acted emotions by focusing on the expression and perception of a spontaneous state of stress. Those different experiments used various devices for kinesthetic interaction, as Geomagic Touch devices and a pressure rendering device developed for this thesis. Results have multiple applications. Firstly, a better integration of the kinesthetic modality in virtual settings, from human-human remote communications to immersion in video games. This thesis also paves the way for an automatic recognition of affective states expressed by the kinesthetic modality.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera hur tingsrätten praktiserar uttryck av emotioner i de skriftliga domarna, avseende försök till mord och mord. Utöver det var syftet även att undersöka hur tingsrätten framställde förövaren och gärningen kopplat till känslouttryck, samt om det förekom några skillnader i framställandet av dessa. Studien har genomförts med kvalitativ innehållsanalys som metod och datamaterialet bestod av domar från en tingsrätt. Resultaten har visat att tingsrätten huvudsakligen exkluderar känslouttryck i de skriftliga domarna och uttryckt sakliga framställningar, men att det dock är förekommande till viss del. Resultaten har även visat att det förekommit skillnader i tingsrättens framställande av förövaren och gärningen. Våra slutsatser har bland annat blivit att tingsrätten i olika grad frångått sin neutrala ställning, där emotioner i relation till gärningen varit mest framträdande. Slutsatserna har stärkts genom kopplingen till det emotionssociologiska perspektivet och Garlands teori om straffets funktion. / The purpose of this paper was to study how the district court practices expression of emotions in the written judgments, regarding attempted murder and murder. In addition, the purpose was also to study how the district court presented the perpetrator and the act linked to emotional expressions, and whether there were any differences in the presentation of these. The study was conducted with qualitative content analysis as a method and the data material consisted of judgments from a district court. The results have shown that the district court mainly excludes emotional expressions in the written judgments and expressed factual representations, but that it does occur to some extent. The results have also shown that there have been differences in the district court's presentation of the perpetrator and the act. Our conclusions have, among other things, been that the district court to varying degrees deviated from its neutral position, where emotions in relation to the act were most prominent. The conclusions have been strengthened through the connection to the emotional sociological perspective and Garland’s theory regarding the function of punishment.

(English) Multimodality in Spanish Language This research work analyses the language of the social networks used in the Hispanic environment from the point of view of multimodality. In the first part, the theoretical framework of the study is presented, i. e. cognitive linguistics. In addition, the fundamental theories linked to this framework are explained, namely mental spaces, conceptual blending, conceptual metaphor or construal, which are later applied to our object of study: the language of social networks. Likewise, the concept of multimodality, its origins, and its current utility in the field of linguistics are analysed. In the second part, the variety of the Spanish language used online is investigated, with focus on the elements that present the multimodal character. The linguistic material, which constitutes a corpus of study, has been extracted in its entirety from Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The corpus has been updated and appropriate to the fundamental purpose pursued in this study: to demonstrate that communication mediated by the social networks is, mainly, multimodal, since it has its own resources, belonging to various semiotic channels, which allow any user to achieve any communicative purpose sought. Key words: Spanish language, cognitive linguistics, multimodality, social...
