Abstract
This study examines cognitive models of emotive phraseology in English, Russian, and Tajik within a cognitive-linguistic framework. Based on a corpus of approximately 180 phraseological units, it identifies universal conceptual metaphors and culturally specific patterns in the representation of basic emotions. The findings highlight the dominant role of somatic and spatial models, as well as the distinctive “emotion ingestion” model in Tajik. The study contributes to cross-linguistic research and cognitive linguistics.
