About this title

Synopsis:

Arguing that romantic love is neither an undefinable mystic experience nor a phenomenon reducible to a labeled set of reactions, this study explores love's complexity and structure through analysis of the conventionalized linguistic expressions that speakers of English use to talk about it.
