The article deals with the comparative analysis of the means of verbalization and the structure of the conceptosphere JOY in the Ukrainian and English languages and cultures. The focus is made on the semantic peculiarities and specific features of the functioning of the lexeme JOY in the Ukrainian and English languages. The research of the conceptosphere JOY has been conducted by applying the method of cognitive definition suggested by Jerzy Bartmiński, which involves the analysis of its means of verbalization in the Ukrainian and English worldviews.
