Abstract
This study presents the nominations of the emotional concept "fear" on the material of the Kazakh and English languages. The means of linguistic representation of the concept are analyzed on the basis of the definitions of the main lexemes in explanatory dictionaries, dictionaries of synonyms and examples from fiction. Comparative analysis of the concept identifies the national-cultural specifics and peculiarities of the perception of the concept. Lexical means of nomination in the Kazakh and English languages reflect physiological processes at the moment of experiencing the emotion, the reasons, intensity and subsequent emotional state of a person. The relevance of this research is determined by the modern general theoretical problems of linguistics, its interest in the problems of the interaction of language, thinking and culture, also by the focus on the study of fragments of the picture of the world through their linguistic representations. Fear is one of the basic emotional concepts that make up the core of the linguistic worldview. Basic emotions are universal, so are emotional concepts. However, emotional concepts are characterized by national and cultural specificity, which is reflected in the semantic differentiation associated with the assessment and comprehension of the people. Research prospects consist in further study of the structure and semantics of the concept “fear” (“қорқыныш/ fear”), in a more in-depth study of complex studies of the concept's verbalization in linguistic consciousness.

This is one of those concepts that guide the perception and understanding of reality, while linguistic activity is focused on a person and reflects reality through its http://ijasos.ocerintjournals.org 560. The anthropocentric paradigm of modern linguistics shows interest in any manifestation of the human factor in the language and expands the possibilities of linguistic research because it supposes the study of a language from different angles. The tendency towards the convergence of scientific disciplines arisen at the junction with linguistics tends to a comprehensive and multi-aspect analysis of the phenomena of language and speech
