The study of emotional concepts has become one of the central areas of modern linguistic research due to the growing interest in the relationship between language, cognition, and culture. Emotional concepts reflect people’s perceptions, experiences, values, and attitudes, making them important objects of cognitive and linguocultural analysis. Different languages and cultures conceptualize emotions in distinct ways, revealing both universal and culture-specific patterns of human thinking. The purpose of this study is to examine the significance of emotional concepts in modern linguistics and to highlight their role in understanding the interaction between language, thought, and culture. The relevance of the topic lies in the increasing attention paid to emotions as conceptual structures that shape human communication and worldview. The investigation of emotional concepts contributes to a deeper understanding of cognitive processes, cultural identity, and linguistic representation of emotions. Therefore, the study of emotional concepts remains highly relevant in contemporary linguistics, providing valuable insights into the complex relationship between language, cognition, culture, and emotion.
