Abstract

 This study explores how emotions are expressed in English and Uzbek literature by analyzing emotion-related collocations in Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist and Xudoyberdi To‘xtaboyev’s Besh bolalik yigitcha. Collocations like burning anger or deep sorrow carry subtle emotional meaning that is often hard to translate. The research classifies expressions as showing Full, Partial, or Zero Equivalence to assess how meaning shifts across languages. Findings reveal which emotions are universally expressed and which reflect culture-specific patterns, offering insights for literary translation and cross-cultural linguistics.
