The article explores the concept of DOUBT from the perspective of an idealized cognitive model of the world and focuses on the conceptual metonymy used to describe the concept. DOUBT has a dual nature and refers to the realm of thinking and the realm of feelings. DOUBT is considered as an emotional concept, since doubt is experienced according to the scheme "cause -> existence of emotion -> expression". Doubt is a mixed state and often includes other emotions such as irritation, restlessness, discomfort, indignation, anger, fear, interest, surprise, fear, regret, guilt, shame, joy, hope. The conceptual metaphor method helps address DOUBT through the basic conceptual metonymy EMOTION EFFECT FOR EMOTION, categorized into expressive, physiological, and behavioral response types. A number of conceptual metonymies highlighted by Z. Kyovechesh are common to emotional concepts and DOUBT, they include FACIAL EXPRESSION MEANS EMOTION, INABILITY TO SPEAK MEANS EMOTION, PHYSICAL EXCITEMENT MEANS EMOTION, INABILITY TO MOVE MEANS FEAR. Expressive metonymies include INTENT AND FIXED LOOK, BULGING EYES, NARROWING OF EYES, EYE BLINK, EYEBROWS MOVEMENT, LIPS MOVEMENT, MOUTH OPEN, MOCKERY, FACIAL EXPRESSION CHANGE for DOUBT. Physiological metonymies include DECREASED HEART-BEAT and INABILITY TO ACT for DOUBT. Behavioral metonyms include SHOULDER SHUG, HEAD SHAKING, BODY TILTING, DISTANCE CHANGE, HOLDING OBJECTS for DOUBT. Behavioral language metonyms include PAUSE, UNINTELLIGIBLE SPEECH, WHISPER and STAMMERING for doubt. It is promising to study other emotional concepts and distinguish their prototypical universal correlates and those specific to a particular linguistic culture
