LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF EMOTIONAL LEXICON IN THE RUSSIAN AND UZBEK LANGUAGES

This study examines the linguistic features of emotional lexicon in the Russian and Uzbek languages from a comparative perspective. It analyzes how emotions are expressed through lexical, semantic, and morphological means in both languages. The research shows that while emotions are universal, their linguistic representation differs due to cultural and structural factors. Russian emotional vocabulary is rich in semantic nuances and word-formation possibilities, whereas Uzbek reflects emotional meanings through agglutinative forms and culturally influenced expressions. The study also emphasizes the role of metaphor and context in shaping emotional meaning. The findings contribute to a better understanding of cross-cultural communication and linguistic diversity in expressing emotions.
