Lexical units expressing non-verbal manifestation of surprise (based on the example of Shamil Alyadin’s works)

the article analyzes lexical units expressing non-verbal manifestation of the emotion “surprise”, using the example of Crimean Tatar works of art by Sh. Alyadin. Descriptions of the emotions felt by the character are partly an indicator of the writer’s skill, and also allow for a deeper study of the lexical units of the Crimean Tatar language, with the help of which the non-verbal manifestation of surprise is described. As a result of the study, the character's emotional reaction to surprise, the discrepancy between the expected and the real, can be caused by both positive and negative events. It has been noted that facial expressions play a key role in expressing this emotion. In the Crimean Tatar language, in particular in the works of Shamil Alyadin, the emotion of “surprise” is conveyed by a number of lexical units. We have identified at least 15 multi-word lexical units expressing this emotion. The subject of this study is the texts of the Crimean Tatar writer Shamil Alyadin, which include various lexical units, as well as non-verbal means involved in the representation of the emotion of surprise.
