The paper deals with the analysis of the emotional metaphor as a means of emotion conceptualization in phraseology. The interest to such idioms is accounted for by their capacity to reflect the understanding of emotions based on the socio-cultural experience of the language community, as well as to illustrate the national peculiarities of world perception through metaphoric meanings. On the material of English and Russian, metaphoric models of the emotional state are characterized, the role of metaphor in mapping the emotional domain is considered. In the context of a comparative study the authors find it relevant to expand the scope of understanding of the emotional model of the world formation by different linguocultures. Metaphors widely used to explicate the emotional concepts are orientational and ontological ones. A special attention is paid to anthropomorphic and zoomorphic metaphoric types. It is argued that the most productive metaphor is the anthropomorphic one, which can be explained by the anthropocentric mode of human cognition. Anthropomorphic metaphor assigns typically human properties or actions to emotions. Physiological metaphor also seems to be frequent in emotion conceptualization, based on similarity of physiological symptoms and emotional states. Zoomorphic metaphor is also actively used in metaphorical structuring the emotional sphere due to the special significance of animal images for people. In such idioms, animal images are metaphorically patterned to give characteristics of human emotions. The analysis of the material allows to make a conclusion that English and Russian phraseology represent nationally and culturally specific ways of metaphorical mapping of the human emotional experience. The common features in the metaphoric emotion representation are revealed in universal domain spheres for emotional metaphors. The distinctive features reveal themselves in different ways and frequency value, used in the process of figurative representation of positive and negative emotions in the phraseology of English and Russian, differences and gaps in metaphoric meanings, cognitive patterns of emotional concepts.
