THE SEMANTIC SCOPE OF MELIORATIVE EMOTIONS REFLECTING HUMAN PSYCHE

Abstract

This article examines meliorative emotions as a linguistic means of reflecting positive human feelings and emotions. Meliorative emotions explain the semantic and pragmatic aspects of such positive states as joy, happiness, love, pride, and peace. The article provides a detailed analysis of lexical units, phraseological expressions, and syntactic constructions used to express these emotions. Additionally, the role of these units in communicative and cultural contexts is thoroughly explored. The results of the study show that meliorative emotions not only serve to express a person's internal emotional state but also help reinforce warmth and sincerity in social interaction. Identifying the linguistic and pragmatic characteristics of these emotions provides important theoretical foundations that can be applied in fields such as linguistics, psychology, and cultural studies.
