Emotions of Anger in Lexical and Phraseological Representation in the Sakha Worldview

This article examines the lexical and phraseological nomination of anger within the context of the relationship between language and emotions. The novelty of this research lies in the first structural-semantic and cognitive description of the emotion of anger using lexical and phraseological units from the Sakha language corpus. The theoretical and methodological foundation of the work includes studies by A. Zaliznyak, Y. Apresyan, V. Shakhovsky, A. Vezhbitskaya, A. Emirova, A. Baranov, D. Dobrovolsky, and others. The results show that the Yakut language contains a sufficient number of lexemes and phrases representing the feeling of anger across different levels of emotional expression. Verb lexemes reflecting the state of anger present some difficulty in differentiating semantic components, though native speakers do not have trouble identifying their contextual meaning. The study reveals the presence of intensifying words (adverbs) and paired verb combinations, where the second component acts as an actualizer of emotion. Phraseological units are analyzed according to the dynamics of emotion development, specifically the intensity of their manifestation. Less intense manifestations of anger are indicated by units with a clear sign of irritation. More expressive stages of anger development are demonstrated by expressions whose components include names of human physiological organs. The highest emotional intensity is found in units whose imagery is based on associative perceptions of inherent traits of predatory animals, mythological creatures, and abstract concepts. The main features identified are the attitude toward the object (stimulus), the level of intensity of emotional experience, and the linguistic expression of the negative emotion, which is displayed through the symptomatology of its manifestation. Phraseological interjections play a crucial role as indicators of intensity, expressing additional nuances of verbal reaction that accompany the situational emotion of anger. The linguocultural interpretation of the anger complex phenomenon, as one of the basic emotions, focuses on reconstructing the multifaceted image of a person, including their inner world. Work in this direction involves accumulating linguistic material, which will serve as the basis for a comprehensive description of the image of a representative of this ethnoculture.
