Semantic analysis of emotive phraseological units of the Moksha language

Introduction: the article considers the phraseological units of the Moksha language, which are an important means of linguistic realization of emotions and reflect the features of a person's internal emotional life, his feelings and experiences. Objective: to analyze emotive phraseological units of the Moksha language from the point of view of their lexical and semantic content. Research materials: the emotive phraseological units extracted from the phraseological dictionary of the Moksha language, colloquial speech of native speakers, as well as literary texts of Mordovian writers in which these units function. Results and novelty of the research: until now, the linguistic representation of emotions through phraseological units has not become the subject of special study in Mordovian linguistics. However, the material shows that emotive phraseology, being an important and richest component of the vocabulary of any language, is characterized by nationally specific features of the reflection of emotions. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that it presents a semantic analysis of emotive phraseological units of the Moksha language from the position of reflecting in them the cultural and psychological characteristics of its speaker. The main attention is paid to determining the semantics of the stable units under consideration and their classification based on the thematic principle. It is noted that a significant role in the representation of emotions is given to phraseological units with a somatic component, which express various emotional relationships and states (happiness, joy, love, fear, anger, etc.).
