The aim of this paper is to investigate the implicit expression of emotions in relation to representations of places in the so-called Israelkorpus, in particular in interviews with Jehuda Steinbach. Although the subject of the explicit expression of emotions in the Israelkorpus has been intensively investigated in recent years, the investigation of the implicit manifestations of emotions, however, has been rather marginalised. Nevertheless, the implicit expression of emotions plays a central role in this corpus. As the present analysis shows, because of their highly traumatic experiences, interviewees often have difficulties expressing their subjective emotional condition directly. After the theoretical discussion of the concepts of emotion and implicitness and after some methodological preliminary remarks, a qualitative analysis is conducted. The latter is mainly based on the innovative category of the so-called E-Implikatur theorised by Schwarz-Friesel, that can be defined as implicit emotional evaluation. The emotional and inferential potential of vagueness and figurative expressions will also be discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the implicit expression of emotions in relation to representations of places in the so-called Israelkorpus, in particular in interviews with Jehuda Steinbach. Although the subject of the explicit expression of emotions in the Israelkorpus has been intensively investigated in recent years, the investigation of the implicit manifestations of emotions, however, has been rather marginalised. Nevertheless, the implicit expression of emotions plays a central role in this corpus. As the present analysis shows, because of their highly traumatic experiences, interviewees often have difficulties expressing their subjective emotional condition directly. After the theoretical discussion of the concepts of emotion and implicitness and after some methodological preliminary remarks, a qualitative analysis is conducted. The latter is mainly based on the innovative category of the so-called E-Implikatur theorised by Schwarz-Friesel, that can be defined as implicit emotional evaluation. The emotional and inferential potential of vagueness and figurative expressions will also be discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
