This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the concept of "shame" in English from a cognitive-linguistic perspective. Drawing on cognitive processes, linguistic representation, and cultural influences, the article explores how shame is understood, expressed, and communicated in English lingua-culture. It examines the cognitive processes involved in shame, such as the activation of negative self-perceptions, social evaluative concerns, and the impact on one's self-worth. Additionally, the role of linguistic expressions, metaphors, and cultural influences in shaping and communicating shame is investigated. This analysis contributes to a deeper comprehension of shame from a cognitive linguistic perspective, facilitating cross-cultural comparisons and potential clinical implications.
