This study aims at investigating the Turkish emotion concept heyecan (i.e., thrill, excitement, and nervousness), which can be used with different semantic contents depending on the context. The conceptual metaphor theory frames this analysis to reveal the metaphorical and metonymical conceptualizations of heyecan. For this purpose, the lemma heyecan is searched in the Turkish National Corpus, and 700 concordance lines gathered from the corpus are examined through the metaphor identification procedure to identify the source domains and interpret the conceptual coding. The findings reveal a folk model of heyecan in which several metaphors and metonymies characterize different dimensions of it: arousal–existence–disappearance, intensity–passivity, control, cause–effect, and individual–social. Qualitative and quantitative findings embody various linguistic metaphors that can be grouped under several source domain categories including substance in a container, location, and object as the most frequent ones, whereas physiological effect is the most frequent metonymy. The metaphors and metonymies are discussed with their examples in this study. The concordance lines show several emotion terms that heyecan is collocated with, among which the emotion families of ‘fear’ and ‘happiness’ outnumber the rest. This study demonstrates how corpus data are helpful in pinpointing the conceptual content of an emotion term in a coherent way.

土耳其情感术语“Heyecan”的概念本质

本研究旨在调查土耳其人的情感概念赫耶坎（即激动、兴奋和紧张），根据上下文可以与不同的语义内容一起使用。概念隐喻理论构建了这种分析，以揭示隐喻和转喻的概念化海耶坎。为此，引理赫耶坎在土耳其国家语料库中进行搜索，并通过隐喻识别程序检查从语料库中收集的 700 个索引行，以识别源域并解释概念编码。研究结果揭示了一个民间模型赫耶坎其中几个隐喻和转喻表征了它的不同维度：唤醒-存在-消失、强度-被动、控制、因果和个人-社会。定性和定量的发现体现了各种语言隐喻，这些隐喻可以分为几个源域类别，包括容器中的物质,地点， 和目的作为最常见的，而生理效应是最常见的转喻。本研究中通过实例对隐喻和转喻进行了讨论。索引线显示了几个情感术语赫耶坎与之搭配，其中“恐惧”和“快乐”这两个情感家族数量最多。这项研究展示了语料库数据如何有助于以连贯的方式查明情感术语的概念内容。
