CROSS-LINGUISTIC REPRESENTATION OF THE EMOTION OF SURPRISE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK FILM SCRIPTS
Abstract
This study examines the verbalization of surprise in film scripts in Uzbek and English. It explores how linguistic, semantic, and cognitive mechanisms form the expression of surprise, and how these mechanisms reflect cultural and communicative differences between the two languages. The research contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics, translation studies, and linguistic emotion theory by illuminating how emotions are encoded and perceived across linguistic boundaries.
