Abstract
The author explores the relationship between constructions that include emo-tion nouns and the metaphorical conceptualization of emotions in Czech. She focuses on selected nouns that denote negative emotions (anger: vztek, zlost, hněv, amok; fear: strach, úzkost, panika; dislike: nelibost, nechuť) and verbs that take these nouns as subjects or objects (and to some extent on other types of verbal complementation).
Similarities and differences were found in the preferred types of construction for the given emotions, in the repertoire of verbs in these constructions, and in associated metaphors.
