Annotation:
Information regarding the idea of its structure and function
in linguistics is provided in this article. This page is helpful because it clarifies
the ambiguity and complexity of the idea of dread in English phraseological units
emotives. In addition to word definitions from dictionaries, concepts are also
developed in the human mind based on individual and societal cultural-
historical experiences; the more comprehensive these experiences, the more
expansive the bounds of concepts.
Key words:
Linguistics, concept, fear, phraseological unit, method, world
picture, emotion, universal, cognition, formation.
Every language has its own development laws, which are determined by the
qualities and intrinsic capacities of the language. English phraseological unit
construction contains unique features as well. It is well known that as a
phraseology forms, a word combination obtains every element that makes up a
phraseological structure.
The subject of how phraseological units (PhU) are generated has garnered
increasing attention from phraseologists in recent years. This is because one of
the least researched topics in linguistics continues to be the content of language
units, particularly the structural-semantic aspects of PhUs. To understand the
relationship between the semantic-phraseological variants of PhU, it is crucial to
generalize the primary phraseoderivation techniques.
The language of human emotions is included in the concept of FEAR. The lexeme
characteristic of the English idea of dread, according to the study's historical-
etymological research, corresponds to the Latin words timor, pavor, and metus.
Tim is a root that is frequently found in Romance languages; in English, it is
called mor. Tim takes part in the word fear (sincere from the fear) as a root,
which gives rise to the words timor, pavor, and metus. This word came into use
in English in the fourteenth century, coming from the later Latin word cordialis,
which means "sincere."
The word "fear" has two distinct meanings in the English language, according to
its original dictionary definition: 1) an uncomfortable feeling brought on by the
possibility of danger 2) Anguish or injury. Fear is a term used to describe fright
in English. The following concepts are prevalent in the semantics of fear

lexemes: The word "fear" conjures up images of a sensation that stirs up
emotions and pumps blood.
The fear lexeme also has meanings close to emotions in concepts such as enemy,
hate, and unhappiness.. For instance, freeze the blood, remain vigilant, give the
victim the creeps, cause the victim's flesh to tremble, cry before the victim is
injured, make the victim's hair stand on end, put the victim's heart in their
mouth,
or

a
mopstick.
The term "fear" refers to phraseological elements that describe an individual's
tense emotional state, as though they are anticipating something bad happening
to them.
It is crucial that dread manifests itself in a variety of ways, both in terms of
timing and intensity. Psychologists have made numerous statements regarding
this. "A person may experience fear as a transient or ongoing emotion brought
on by actual or perceived threat. Fear is a mental condition that manifests as
distressing and agonizing events, panic attacks, and self-preservation behaviors.
Phrasological units are used to describe the concept of fear: receive a shock, take
alarm, be terrified of one's shadow, go down in one's boots, once bit, twice shy,
as scared as a rabbit, confuse smb, halt to look at a fence, and so on (a total of 8).
The following is a representation of definitional analysis: become afraid of one's
shadow → to have a sudden fear when you walking down → to become anxious
→ dreadful condition → timorousness → genuine grounds of fear → emotional
state; occasionally you become scared → shock of a sudden, startling, and
typically short → lived fear → dread → weakness or cowardice → emotional
state.
The conceptual group of phraseological units with the integral feature "fear" is
intriguing overall because it lets you define various emotional states with
varying degrees of unexpectedness, unconditionality, strength, turbulence,
duration of manifestation, and dependence on real or imagined negative factors.
The semantic originality of phraseological units reflecting the concept of fear is
due to the combination of the archiseme "emotional state", the integral seme
"fear", and the differential semes "scare", "fright", "horror", "dread".
