THE LINGUO-STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE WORD “HEART” IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The word "heart" holds profound significance beyond its anatomical function, embodying a complex array of emotional, symbolic, and cultural meanings. This paper examines the linguo-stylistic features of the term "heart" to uncover its nuanced roles in language and literature. Drawing on theories of literary analysis, metaphorical constructs, and cross-cultural perspectives, the study explores the lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical dimensions of the word. Key findings highlight its metaphorical usage as a symbol of emotions, moral virtues, and human essence, as well as its varied connotations—positive, negative, and neutral—across different contexts. This inquiry contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between language, emotion, and symbolism in human communication.
