Idiomatic expressions with body parts in English and French

This final paper focuses on the analysis of idiomatic expressions with body parts in English and French with an emphasis on the translation. Since the two languages have been historically related and greatly influenced one by another, the aim is to present how their lexical and syntactic similarities are visible in figurative language i.e. in the expressions with parts of the body. The first part of this work provides general terminology concerning phraseology and idioms and explains translation strategies and the relationship between two respective languages. Furthermore, the main part of the work consists of the analysis of the fifty (50) selected idiomatic expressions with a wide range of body parts and concludes with the results obtained by that analysis. Those results demonstrate how many expressions were translated by absolute, partial or, zero equivalents.
