VERBALISIERUNG DER EMOTION „FREUDE“ IM DEUTSCHEN UND ALBANISCHEN. EINE PHRASEOLOGISCHE STUDIE IM LICHTE DER KOGNITIVEN LINGUISTIK
VERBALIZATION OF THE EMOTION “JOY” IN GERMAN AND ALBANIAN. A PHRASEOLOGICAL STUDY IN THE LIGHT OF COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS

Summary/Abstract: The focus of this study is to examine the expression possibilities of the emotion "joy" in German and Albanian through phraseological units from a cognitive linguistic per-spective. It primarily involves a lexical analysis of emotional expressions, examining various aspects of the emotional vocabulary, such as metaphoricity and symbolism. In doing so, we aim to answer the following research questions: a) How is joy conceptual-ized in phraseological units of German and Albanian? b) Which culturally relevant symbols and linguistic images are contained therein? The goal of this contrastive study is to contribute to the field of emotion linguistics with regard to the German and Alba-nian language. Particularly, in light of the current state of research in Albanian cogni-tive and emotion linguistics, we aim to partially fill a research gap.
