This article delves into the linguistic characteristics of words expressing joy in the French language. By analyzing a range of vocabulary and expressions associated with happiness, we aim to understand how joy is linguistically constructed and conveyed. The study also explores the semantic fields, etymological roots, morphological structures, and pragmatic usage of these joy-related terms. Through this linguistic analysis, we gain insights into the cultural and emotional dimensions embedded in the French lexicon.
