Abstract
This study examines how psychological states are expressed in Uzbek and how these expressions can be represented in computational models. Particular attention is given to lexical and phraseological units whose meanings depend not only on emotion itself but also on cultural and social context. Words such as andisha and uyat, for example, are difficult to describe through simple positive-negative polarity because they also reflect socially regulated behaviour and cultural expectations. Drawing on functional-semantic, cognitive, and linguocultural analysis, the study develops a pilot Uzbek emotion lexicon in which lexical units are described according to emotion category, valence, arousal, and a proposed Cultural Weight parameter. The paper also outlines a hybrid emotion-detection approach that combines lexicon-based information with contextual transformer representations. Muxlisa AI is considered as a possible application environment for this framework. Preliminary correlation results suggest that Cultural Weight may capture information that is not fully represented by valence and arousal; however, these findings relate to the pilot annotation framework rather than to the performance of a fully trained emotion-classification model.
