Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the identification of relevant parameters of differentiation for the close emotion concepts envy and jealousy based on the analysis of their names profiles in the iWeb web corpus. The corpus-based research methodology included comparison of (1) the definitions of the lexemes jealousy and envy, (2) the semantic content of conceptual metaphors representing envy and jealousy, and (3) these concepts according to intensity and evaluation parameters. The study of corpus data allowed us to obtain objective results, and also to claim that this method may be an alternative to another corpus-based one, MPA, as its analytical tools are simpler but no less reliable than those of MPA.
