Summary/Abstract: There is a close relationship between emotions and language, especially in the field of metaphorical language. Metaphors that stand for emotions in English and Bulgarian are the focus of the article. The emotion concepts combine physiological experience and culture-specific models. The article focuses on different schemes representing basic emotional meaning. The cognitive models and schemes are probably universal but there are different linguistic representations and some culturally modified forms of representations.
