Abstract
The article deals with the development of semantics of frequent “crying” verbs in English and Spanish based on etymological, ideographic and explanatory dictionaries. It focuses on the conceptual components that represent crying as an expression of sad emotions (presence / absence of tears, intensity and duration of the sound, etc.). The article considers, on the one hand, a large number of similar features and identical main components inherent in the analyzed verbs, and on the other - close connection of the ideas of crying and screaming in the English verbs, absent in Spanish ones.
