LINGUISTIC FEATURES IN THE CONTEXT OF NATURAL PHENOMENA: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Language is an intrinsic part of how humans relate to, comprehend, and describe the natural world. The way natural phenomena are articulated—whether through the use of metaphors, technical terminology, or syntactic structures—shapes our understanding and responses to these events. This paper investigates the linguistic features that are employed to describe natural phenomena such as storms, earthquakes, climate change, and environmental shifts. By exploring metaphors, terminological choices, and syntactic constructions, the study emphasizes the power of language to reflect and influence human perceptions of nature. Additionally, it examines how cultural perspectives influence linguistic expressions and how these expressions, in turn, affect both scientific discourse and the public's environmental awareness. Ultimately, this paper underscores the profound relationship between language and the way we experience, respond to, and understand natural phenomena, highlighting the crucial role of linguistics in communicating the challenges of the modern world.
