THE EMOTIONAL CONCEPT OF "JOY" AND THE WAYS OF ITS OBJECTIFICATION IN ARTISTIC AND RELIGIOUS DISCOURSES

Abstract

Emotions are one of the most complexly organized human systems. A huge literature is devoted to the study of emotions and their expression in language (works by Yu. D. Apresyan, N. D. Arutyunova, A. Vezhbitskaya, V. G Gak, J. N. Jordanskaya, V. I. Shakhovsky, etc.). Representing one of the fundamental human emotions, joy is an integral component of spiritual culture The emotion of joy, for all its universality, shows in different languages a certain specificity of verbalization, due to the inherent subjectivity of the speaker's interpretation of the surrounding reality, which is of undoubted interest to linguistics. The subject of research in this paper is the emotional concept of "joy". Lexical and phraseological units, paroemias representing the concept of "joy" are the object of research.
