Abstract

The article examines the semantic fields and translation aspects of linguistic units expressing the feeling of “fear” in English and Armenian. Emotional and sensory, and affective expressions are among the conceptual domains in both the English and Armenian languages and cultures that reflect distinct value systems and worldviews. They exhibit both similarities and differences conditioned by historical development, socio-economic, cultural and other factors. Thus, it is of interest to the study the emotion-related vocabulary, especially the linguistic units denoting “fear” focusing on their culture-specific characteristics.
