Abstract
“Laugh” verbs rank almost first when people express their emotions. There are many “laugh” verbs in English, for learners with a relatively low proficiency level, it is quite difficult to choose the appropriate one to describe their states of mind. Due to their subtle differences, it is more difficult for learners to grasp their usage and meanings. This present paper aims to analyze the differences of some widely used “laugh” verbs through componential analysis.
