Abstract
This article examines the role and classification of emotional units in linguoculturology. Emotions, as universal human experiences, are reflected in language through idioms, metaphors, phraseological units, proverbs, and cultural expressions. Using a comparative linguocultural approach, the study analyzes English and Uzbek emotional units, identifying both universal patterns and culture-specific differences. The findings highlight the communicative, cognitive, cultural, and aesthetic roles of emotional expressions and propose a systematic classification that contributes to understanding cultural identity and intercultural communication.
