The following study aims to evaluate the Metatheory of Interfaces (CAMPOS, 2007) as a research program to tackle complex and interdisciplinary problems, such as inferential processes, specifically the relationship between language and emotions. For this theoretical study, we assume an interdisciplinary approach by interfaces, which build perspectives on the complex object in order to observe different properties on the semantic-pragmatic language of emotions. Therefore, the study seeks to: (a) describe the interface between language, logic and emotions in order to demonstrate how inferential arguments based on Grice s (1957/1975) and Levinson s (2000) theories may be affected by assumptions consisting of emotional scales; (b) discuss the notion of relevance proposed by Sperber & Wiison (1995), in order to demonstrate the existence of emotional benefits in speech, often caused by the form of expression, and not its content; (c) address the notion of intent within the semantic-pragmatic studies, expanding the traditional concept from Costa s (in press) approach. In general, the interfaces built point to the need for more studies of the properties of language and emotion, in order to achieve an approach of the human inferential communication with a more descriptive and explanatory capacity. We show that the Metatheory of Interfaces is appropriate to reorganize the Science of Language as well as interdisciplinary studies, linking foundations and potentials of applications of incommensurable perspectives in a theoretical level.
