Linguoculturological modeling of phraseological units characterising negative emotional states can inform us on the relationship between languages and the cultural/ psychological background of their speakers. Unfortunately, Alshynbekova et al. (2024) do not provide a model that accounts for the differences and similarities between phraseological units in Kazakh and Chinese and how they characterize emotional states. Chinese phraseological units display symbolic representations derived from classical and philosophical literature. Kazakh phraseological units, instead, display a complex metaphorical construction process with references to animals and nature and strong connections to nomadic cultural experiences. Despite such differences, both languages use sophisticated metaphorical mechanisms to encode negative emotional experiences, transforming abstract psychological states into tangible, comprehensible linguistic representations. Whether this is a universal feature pervasive in world languages is a research question that has yet to be addressed.
