Abstract


This article simultaneously examines the concept of happiness from the point of view of its established vocabulary content and from the point of view of those semantic components that were named in the course of a survey of the English-speaking audience about its content. The purpose of this article is to identify the semantic components of meaning that are absent in the dictionary definition.
