The Role Of Culture In The Linguistic Expression Of Happiness
Abstract
This paper investigates how culture shapes the linguistic expression of happiness in English and Uzbek languages. By examining idiomatic, metaphorical, and phraseological units, the study reveals that both linguistic and cultural contexts determine the conceptualization of happiness. The research also highlights the influence of social values, religion, and worldview on the semantic nuances of emotion-related expressions.
