“…4 (158), 222-224. http://doi.org/ 10.29254/2077Vyp. 4 (158), 222-224. http://doi.org/ 10.29254/ -4214-2020 Many points have been clarified about the linguistic representation of human emotions: 1) the structure of the emotional concept (Vezhbytskaya, 1996); 2) the structure of specific emotional concepts (Vorkachiev, 2012;Krasavsky, 2001;and other); 3) the role of metaphorical structures in conceptualizing the emotions (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980); 4) the verbal representation of emotions in the emotive units (Shakhovsky, 2016;Nizhnik & Galaidin, 2021); 5) the cultural aspects of rendering emotional images into the target language in the process of translation (Babelyuk, 2017;Gliebkin, 2010) However, the present-day findings do not give a comprehensible picture of the complex nature of lexical units that name emotions in poetic texts. The point seems to be interesting because nominative units naturally carry the generalized information about the referents, and this is not quite appropriate for poetic texts which offer unique viewpoints on mundane things.…”
