Abstract

This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the semantic and pragmalinguistic features of collocations expressing emotional states in English and Uzbek. The study aims to identify similarities and differences between the verbalization of emotional concepts, the structure of collocations, and cultural and national characteristics in the two language systems. The results show that emotional collocations in both languages ​​have their own metaphorical models, and the cultural context has a strong influence on their semantic structure.
