Abstract
This chapter presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of emotion in language by exploring the relationship between the competences associated with Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the communicative competences involved in the verbal expression of emotion and/or appraisal, with a special emphasis on the emotional communication found at the workplace. Our main hypothesis is that emotional intelligence skills and (emotion) communication skills influence each other: people who show communicative dexterity in dealing with emotionally challenging situations are most likely to show high levels of emotional intelligence, and vice-versa. We conducted a survey among engineering companies which measured both Trait Emotional Intelligence and communicative pragmatic competence with regard to staff responses to emotionally challenging situations. The data were assessed with reference to emotional granularity, emotional diversity, speech act theory, emotion and emotional talk, and e-implicatures. Our results show a quadratic (inverted-U) relationship between the two variables in question, proving a positive (but non-linear) correlation between emotional intelligence and pragmalinguistic competence.
