This article examines how the concept of the "soul" is conveyed through language, particularly in the context of translation. Analyzing Byron's poems translated into Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek, and Karakalpak, the study identifies core lexical frames that contribute to a universal understanding of the human soul. Using frame analysis, inspired by Ervin Goffman, the research reveals the "soul" as a central concept linked to emotions like love, sorrow, and longing, as well as connections to homeland and experiences of despair. The translations of Byron’s "Lines written in an album" consistently portray the soul across these languages. Key frames such as traveler, the deceased, grave, remedy, bridge, and darkness, help capture the author's soul and are categorized into linguistic, emotional, metaphorical, philosophical, structural, and contextual subgroups.
