Popis: The aim of this paper is to examine the Spanish counterpart ofpain,that is, the lexemedolor. It seems thatdolor,different from both Englishpainand Frenchdouleur,has two clearly distinguishable meanings,dolor1referring to physical (and emotional) sensation of pain, anddolor2,a quite frequent emotion term belonging to the domain of “sadness.”This article examines different lexical occurrences of the worddolor, cominginter aliafrom tango lyrics, in order to support the above hypothesis.
