Abstract
This article examines the contextual and stylistic mechanisms through which the emotional concept of FEAR (qo'rquv) is verbalized in Uzbek literary discourse. Drawing on cognitive linguistics and stylistics, the study analyzes the lexical-semantic field associated with fear in Uzbek (including qo'rquv, vahima, dahshat, hadik, qo'rqinch, cho'chish, titrash), as well as the figurative and syntactic devices writers employ to render this emotion within narrative contexts. The analysis demonstrates that fear in Uzbek prose and poetry is rarely expressed through a single lexeme; rather, it emerges as a complex configuration of physiological imagery, somatic metaphors, syntactic fragmentation, and culturally specific symbols. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of how emotion concepts are linguistically and cognitively structured within a particular ethnocultural discourse.
