THE LEXICO-SEMANTIC FEATURES OF HAPPINESS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Abstract
The concept of happiness occupies an important place in linguistic and cultural studies because it reflects the emotional, psychological, and cultural worldview of different societies. This article explores the lexico-semantic features of the concept of happiness in English and Uzbek languages. The study analyzes lexical units, idiomatic expressions, and phraseological constructions associated with happiness in both languages. Particular attention is given to semantic nuances and cultural interpretations reflected in linguistic forms. The comparative analysis demonstrates that although happiness is a universal human emotion, it linguistic representation differs significantly due to cultural values, social traditions, and worldview.
