The conceptual component of the fear concept as a category of migration discourse

The concept FEAR is one of the key elements of human consciousness and culture, playing an important role in shaping individual and collective behavior. Fear as an emotional state has a significant impact on decision-making, social interactions, and perception of the world around us. In a modern society characterized by global challenges such as pandemics, environmental crises, political instability, and technological change, the study of this concept is becoming particularly relevant. The research is carried out within the framework of migration linguistics. Since migration is often associated with political security, linguistic tolerance, speech aggression, and linguistic discrimination, the concept FEAR can be attributed to the conceptual sphere of migration, as it is used as a hidden tool of power in the field of migration policy. The article is devoted to the definitional and component analysis of the fear token. The analysis of the conceptual component of concept FEAR makes it possible to determine its content, semantic features and cultural connotations, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of fear formation and functioning in various contexts. The theoretical and practical significance is defined as a contribution to the development of the theory and methodological base of migration linguistics.
