Robert Plutchik's theory[change]

Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions

This says that the basic eight emotions are:

Fear → feeling afraid. Other words are terror (strong fear), shock, phobia
Anger → feeling angry. A stronger word is rage.
Sadness → feeling sad. Other words are sorrow, grief (a stronger feeling, for example when someone has died) or depression (feeling sad for a long time). Some people think depression is a different emotion.
Joy → feeling happy. Other words are happiness, gladness.
Disgust → feeling something is wrong or dirty
Trust → a positive emotion; admiration is stronger; acceptance is weaker
Anticipation → in the sense of looking forward positively to something which is going to happen. Expectation is more neutral.
Surprise → how one feels when something unexpected happens

This theory says that the emotions are:

Anger, opposite calmness (not feeling excited)
Friendship (Love), opposite enmity (feeling hate)
Fear, opposite confidence (having no fear)
Shame, opposite shamelessness (shame: how one feels about one's past bad actions or thoughts; shamelessness: one does not feel shame, but others think one should.)
Kindness (benevolence), opposite unkindness (kindness: when people are good to other people)
Pity (when people feel sorry for other people)
Indignation (feeling angry because something is not fair, such as undeserved bad fortune)
Envy, jealous (pain when people have something that one wishes for oneself)

This "language" has words showing these emotions:
