Wierzbicka's (1995) arguments about the semantics of emotions, while productive in their way of bringing novel analytic schemata to the issue, still overlook a number of relevant issues. Her static and exclusively structural approach to emotion excludes functional aspects of emotions. Emotions are mainly conceptualized as feelings which themselves are defined by thoughts. Such hyper-cognitivist translation of emotions to the mental schemata may lead to the reduction of affective phenomena to their mental reflections, hence eliminating the phenomena in the effort to make sense of them. As an alternative, cultural psychology could analyse the process of 'feeling games' (in analogy with 'language games') in the activities of the never static flow of human psychological phenomena
