Linguo-Cognitive Categorization and Conceptualization of Linguo-Mental Sub-Sphere <i>Joy</i> in the Russian and Ukrainian Linguo-Cultures
The article analyzes the features of linguistic cognitive categorization and conceptualization of the linguomental subsphere JOY in the Russian and Ukrainian linguistic cultures based on the analysis of lexicographic and phraseological sources, as well as the corpora of Russian and Ukrainian. The linguomental subsphere is understood as a multidimensional and multilevel linguo-cognitive phenomenon, which reflects the mental processes of human consciousness, one’s philosophical views and attitudes, conceptual and informational structures that reflect professional knowledge and social experience, assessments, feelings, emotions, national and cultural traditions and history, individual and collective memory, personal and national lexicon, personal, ethnic and national and conventional ideas about the scientific and naive world picture. The authors conclude that the emotive subsphere JOY in the structure in the Russian and Ukrainian linguistic cultures is primarily universal, and the existing features of its linguistic cognitive categorization and conceptualization in the Russian and Ukrainian linguistic cultures are primarily due to a number of cultural, historical and social and economic factors.
