Summary
This study constitutes a description of the analogies and differences in the figurative use of body part terms in English and in Italian. More specifically, it will be focused on the terms Head/Testa, Eye/Occhio, Nose/Naso, Mouth/Bocca and Ear/Orecchio. At first, idiomatic expressions will be analysed in context of rhetoric and then in Cognitive Linguistics. The notion of Embodiment will be a central issue in this work. The final part consists of a comparison between idiomatic expressions related to body part terms in italian and english, with the help of english and italian dictionaries.
