Conducted a corpus-informed contrastive analysis of color vocabulary in both languages.
Examined metaphorical and metonymic associations with a focus on negative emotions.
Analyzed cultural and historical contexts influencing linguistic categorization.
Spanish associates green with envy (verde) and yellow with anger (amarillo), rooted in Greco-Roman theories.
Uzbek predominantly links black (qora) and yellow (sariq) with emotions like envy (hasad) and sorrow (g‘am-gussa).
Cultural cognitive models significantly determine the specific lexical choices and meanings in each language.
